      Pros

      I don't think anyone could argue that Accenture is not a great place to start a career. People fresh out of college are given a great deal of responsibility and challenged to bring out their true potential, but competition is fierce.

      Cons

      While you may be doing your job very well, you still have the possibility of not getting promoted because there is always someone else on your project that is more in the scope of senior leaders and is sometimes setup with more responsibilities. The is unfortunate for the real hard-workers that are less about the talk and more about the walk. From experience, promotions for a lot of people seem few and unlikely.

      Pros

      1. Travel Points (flight, hotel, car) 2. Compensation is pretty good, and the benefits packages are decent 3. Location flexibility - you can basically live anywhere and do the same job 4. The intelligence of employees is very high (engineers, finance/econ types, etc) 5. Can work from home on Fridays or while on mobile projects 6. Lots of training available via internal resources 7. Very culturally diverse workforce, especially on the East Coast (not so much out West) 8. If played right, an opportunity to really make a difference in some of the world's largest companies 9. Great electronic communication tools (office communicator, outlook web server, mobile email) 10. Great resume builder - will get you into most b-schools and has good brand equity with headhunters and employers worldwide

      Cons

      1. No real positive reinforcement or validation for things done well - only criticism and highlighting the "pain points" 2. Searching for roles on projects is largely a self-started effort with little formal support from project managers and HR staff 3. Performance reviews are often a popularity contest due to the "laddering" system 4. The consultants, especially at lower levels, tend to overcomplicate simple things and throw others under the bus in the name of looking good and/or impressing senior management 5. There is a culture of "one-upsmanship" among consultants; constant pressure to outperform peers, sometimes at their expense (i.e. taking credit for someone else's work without giving them any) 6. Work-life balance is only lip service - long hours, often unnecessary ones, are par for the course 7. Lack of diversity of thought - there is a lot of groupthink at Accenture 8. The value of some projects is questionable - a little bit of nickel-and-diming here and there 9. Not a place for introverts or laid-back personalities - personal selling and skill marketing is constant, as you perpetually have to prove yourself and have people "know what you know" 10. Not an career conducive to keeping a marriage/relationship or being attentive to a family

      Pros

      It was interesting and I was involved in a number of different project. Also, I soon started getting more and more responsibilities.

      Cons

      It was highly necessary to always pretend you are a specialist at what you were doing. That was not only tiring but also unsustainable in the long run.
