Pros

Training and exposure to process and methodology. Well run and decent focus on both profitability for the company and the right outcome for the client. Chance to work in global environment - can also mean the global workforce and hours. Performance management process is done nicely - competitive but also tries to be fair. Ensures people complete reviews.

Cons

a lot of travel required. push toward outsourcing stifles creativity and the reason many people go into "consulting." Politics of course. Management is very risk averse. The think straight / talk straight manta of Andersen Consulting is completely gone. Migration toward solution workforce.

Pros

In the consulting workforce, you have the opportunity to get promoted quickly. You also get a pretty nice benefits package. Good training options, health, ESPP, and 401k matching.

Cons

As other people have mentioned, pay at Accenture lags market averages. There also is the politics thing others have mentioned, but I think this is something that you should expect EVERYWHERE. People have impressions about you that are deeper than what you perceive your performance to be. I have accepted the fact that politics is a part of the game and learned to play it. I would suggest the same to anyone else.
