Pros

Working at ACN helps you built strong overall skill set. The exposure to the different types of companies, projects in different department, gives you an opportunity to have great exposure to build understading in regards to what companies do and how to do things better. I am extremely glad to have worked for ACN, as the learning experience of working there tought me a great deal.

Cons

At ACN you should expect to work long hours, not have a lot of time for personal life, travel to random destinations. You will not always have projects that are within your desired career development path, but are more around what skills you have from previous projects and the need for people to staff projects. Compensation wise, don't go to work to ACN for the money. Their structure is not competetive until you get to manager.

Pros

The fact that I have been at Accenture for 4 years, speaks wonders itself. I believe that Accenture truly has the best people and the best networking available, that you can carry with you throughout your career, whether it be at Accenture or elsewhere. I find that senior management is very encouraging to help you achieve what you want in your career, and will endorse you when transferring to another division, or changing career paths altogether. Accenture also encourages further education to everyone, and offers a tuition reimbursement if this education will help further your career, and also gives access to every employee to participate in classroom trainings across the country and computer based trainings on virtually every subject you would need to learn (eg. excel training for beginners)

Cons

Depending on the project you are put on, there could be essentially 100% travel, or 0% travel. When it is 100% travel, there is no work-life balance, and you work quite a bit of overtime. However, there is also alot of downtime in between projects, where you don't know what to do with yourself. Another downside of working at Accenture is the promotion process. You are up against every other level in your department in the country, so therefore you get rated amongst everyone, so although you may get an exceeds rating from your review, this might not correspond to an exceptional pay increase or bonus, because you are based out of everyone in the country.

Pros

Immense opportunities for growthk provided there is a business need. The people we work with are all over the world so there is great comradship.

Cons

Huge differences in expectations between workforces, some opportunities are not available to you because of the workforce you come from. The compensation is something every Accenture Employee below manager level has complaints about. I was hired in at 29.5K a year in 2006 - for the San Francisco Location.
