Pros
The pay is very reasonable. They offer great benefits for medical, dental, and vision. Accenture has clear defined criteria for talent they hire. Great group to work with. Most Co-workers always ready to assist. Accenture has been good at challenging me to do more, learn more, and explore skills that I wouldn't otherwise use. Accenture Consulting has a very young workforce with most analyst positions filled by new grads. Even many at the Consultant and Manager level are 20 somethings. Young = fun, with lots of opportunities for happy hours and the like. Project Format - Every project has a beginning and an end, with a specific objective.
Cons
Long hours of work often times interferes with personal pursuits outside of work. There are ways to alter my personal schedule though. Its not every day that I have to adjust. The amount of hours worked varies week to week. Another thing I want to say is there are many young, ambitious, and smart young people working there. Well, there is nothing wrong with that. But I do think they need to be tested and get more mature (I mean people skills) before putting them in charge of projects. Working in Accenture is like you are living and working in the Neverland, where you found you are surrounded by kids, yeah, one of them could be as mature and able as Peter Pan, but most are kids, lack of people skills, untested, with big ego, they are dreamers, credit takers, with all the normal behaviors of, well, kids.
