Pros

Great people with Great minds. The respect for the level of education in the talent I work with is not easily comparable with competitors. We have a high level of talent with ambition to do amazing things

Cons

I feel that they could recognize top talent performers a little bit better and create opportunities in a fast track for them in other workforces than just in consulting

Pros

The people are great at Accenture. Every team I've been a part of has been composed of some of the most dynamic and committed people I've ever come across. I truly leave every project with at least a handful of good friends who I'll keep in contact with and who will help my professional network grow even stronger. I've also been very pleased with the career growth opportunities I've been given. I think that most projects will give you the opportunity to stretch yourself to really develop a new set of skills or a new level of confidence you that might not get elsewhere.

Cons

Accenture tends to push a very work-life balance focused agenda (both when recruiting and with existing employees). For the most part, I think it's a little difficult or impractical to take advantage of some of the Accenture-offered programs and approaches that would allow a consultant to achieve a better work-life balance (flexible work schedule, shared roles, etc). In my experience, I've never had a supervisor on the project suggest these as a possible option. Further, I have heard from trusted colleagues that the options have actually been dismissed or discredited when raised as a possibility in a meeting where they were trying to acheive a better balance.

Pros

smart co-workers who are motivited to solve complex problems for clients. interesting work. stock price seems to be holding up somewhat decently despite the perspective of tough times internally. Greater interest in the last few years on work/life balance and diversity programs.

Cons

lack of promotion opportunites at the more senior levels. the pyramid struture is out of balance so promotions are very competitive. compensation and benefits are average - they don't need to pay a premium because of the Accenture brand.
