Pros

Accenture is a large organisation where as a young graduate you can learn a lot. It's range of services, industries and clients give plenty of opportunity to work with leading market players at a global level. The opportunity to learn is powered by a structured management of knowledge and by the breadth of resources you can reach worldwide. Working with smart people and as part of large scale programmes provides a very interesting environment, especially in the early stages of a career. If you can stand lot of travelling and don't want to get out at 5, on average you can still have a good work-life balance.

Cons

Accenture is a big corporation and as such it has lost some of the "personal touch" it had years ago. Bureaucracy, over competition for few places on top, a not very limpid performance management process come with the pack. There is a risk of getting lost in the crowd if you don't work for the right group of people and you don't pay attention to the "politics" of relations. Majority of people are brilliant and sharp so if you don't make more than a good marketing of yourself, very hardly you can get to the top level. Salary is reasonable but not “over exciting”

Pros

Great way to get experience working with social media companies, learned a lot about politics, news, advertising, social media company, marketing, job postings and tech sales. In the project I was part of I learned a lot about the world. Most of my bosses were genuinely amazing but I did cycle through a good few. You learn a lot about working with fortune 100 clients. The consultants are nice to work with. You get experience training people, working with a wide variety of teams. Pretty good pay for my experience at the time, the hiring team is very nice and the hiring process was easy. Also I was given a therapist due to the nature of the work. Also got an hour of paid wellness, which was nice but I think that just extended the workday by one hour for no real reason. It does feel like important and purposeful work.

Cons

The project I was assigned to was not as traumatic as some other ones thankfully. But you see a lot of things, you see how crazy the world and the internet can be, which in these times can be hard to watch. I didn't get an annual raise.

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.
