Great place to work if you're just getting out of college; be ready to move on when you want to settle down. - Senior Consultant Accenture Employee Review

Pros

Good benefits, breadth of opportunities.

Cons

As with so many consulting firms, your experience depends on your project and your manager. During my time with Accenture, I got stuck on a lousy project (helpdesk support) and a great project (developing software for a client). On the first project, there was no planned timeline to get me out of there (even though I was told that it was a temporary assignment). When I was no longer needed my manager refused to let me transfer. I basically had to complain a lot and burn bridges in order to get out of there. I finally landed a great project with a great manager, and the remaining two years at Accenture were the best of my career to date. Unfortunately, that project had to end, and my only alternative was to transfer over to a big project where I would most likely be lost in the shuffle. So I left. It's definitely a good place for someone just starting their career, but if you want to settle down, the life of a consultant gets old very quickly.

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.
