Pros

1) Gain a healthy understanding of the software development lifecycle from start to finish 2) Great reputation for IT delivery abilities 3) Global reputation 4) St. Charles, IL training facility. It really builds a strong culture since everyone around the global must travel to this location 5) Credible resume builder for future IT jobs

Cons

1) You can get pigeon holed in IT jobs 2) The business model encourages average to slightly below average pay for you position. You will make more if you leave the firm (and management will admit this). 3) Manager level tends to have the lowest pay to responsibility ratio. 4) The culture is work hard...not much work life balance (on average). There are always exceptions of course.

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.
