Pros

Name brand and if you fit in then you will probably go on higher. There are two section ATS and Consulting senior management is always from consulting.

Cons

work life balance is only on projects that have an agreement with the client of paying by the day not by the hour. In that case, what happens is that managers push for "work life balance" which means you go home at normal time and then work will have to be done in more days. Other projects are standard consulting /IBANking long hours. In addition, when you are trying to find a project you are looking for a job again. You have to send ppl resumes. Managers won't call you back unless there is something in it for them. The scheduling team has no clue whats going on. You get given projects which you have to take on as a graduate software engineer and then if you have done testing you get type cast in testing. Then if you go for a development role, the managers or TL from accenture will say you don't have developement experience !!! after a year. ! A friend of mine who had done a masters in electronics worked for months as an admin on project for senior managers. He was hired as a Software Engineer. He used to get laptops and security badges for them!. He was given bad reviews that he doesn't take initiative( maybe didn't get a security card fast enough) and eventually made to leave within the year. Accenture hires alot of graduates but fires alot too.

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.
