Pros

Exposure to many different types of clients and industries.

Cons

Lots of travelling. May be hard to establish credibility when you switch teams every 3-6 months.

Pros

They will typically give you as much responsibility as you can prove that you can handle. Great atmosphere for people with work ethic and drive, but not a place where people who have have an overindulgent sense of entitlement. The right people can get a level of responsibility and exposure to very senior leaders at some of the world's largest companies at a pretty young age. For the most part the people you work with will be smart, hard driving and professional. You will have access to all the opportunity and knowledge you could ever dream of, so long as you are not afraid to go out and make it happen for yourself. I loce the opportunities at my fingertips here - the diversity and learning opportunities are second to none. Even if you don't make it to partner, if you can make it a couple of rungs up the ladder here, it will open a lot of other doors for you down the road.

Cons

Man, the place will work you to death if you let them. Work'/life balance always seems to be an issue, and despite all the grandstanding and internal spin, those who are willing to go to the mat for the company are the ones that end up making it farthest and fastest. Many times, the choice comes down to choosing personal interestes/family vs. work. that stinks. The atmosphere can also be very competitive, especialy on the business consulting side. Those that are looking for a cumbaya culture need not apply. Also, if you expect to be coddled, you might want to find somewhere else to work - Accenture can be a pretty cold place at the end of the day.

Pros

Accenture has a strong focus on career development, and, given the right project manager, you can soon be on the "fast track" to promotions. Two caveats: (1) you have to perform and perform well and (2) your senior manager must have "selected" you as the one to move through the ranks with him (or her). Sometimes the latter is not the most fair of processes, but people who have reached the level of senior manager are not dumb and have their pick of the talent pool, so there is a science behind the madness. Overall a great place to work. Also, the 80 hour work weeks of old finally seem to be a thing of the past.

Cons

As mentioned previously, you can soon be on the "fast track" to promotions. Two caveats: (1) you have to perform and perform well and (2) your senior manager must have "selected" you as the one to move through the ranks with him (or her). Sometimes the latter is not the most fair of processes, but people who have reached the level of senior manager are not dumb and have their pick of the talent pool, so there is a science behind the madness. Overall a great place to work with plenty of opportunities. Work hard and you will be rewarded.
