Pros

decent pay with even better benefits

Cons

An absolute "smoke and mirrors" campaign against clients. How we got them to pay such a large sum for what essentailly was window-dressing as deliverables from us was amazing (and not in a good way). That made me very uncomfortable. *** Additionally, leadership did not clue in "newbies" how to move up & add needed skills. It seemed like every road was a dead end professionally. *** That's not to say they wouldn't make you lead a project way before you were ready (recall they don't "show you the ropes"), I was afraid I'd mess up the project & make Accenture look bad. But worse, I was not comfortable misleading the client like Accenture always did & this was a premiere telecom. I just couldn't live with it. Eventually, I left.

Pros

There are a lot of pros working for Accenutre. They have great career opportunities, a never ending supply of interesting work, competitive compensation, wonderful benefits, great people, wonderful training programs, a tremendous number of brilliant professionals in their fields ready to help, and great core values.

Cons

This is not an opportunity for those that do not want to work. At Accenture everyone has a load of work to do and often times under very tight customer time lines. It is a challenge that I enjoy but many might find it stressful.
