Pros

Nothing to list. Maybe just a fact, that if you don’t have any degree Accenture will still hire you and promote.

Cons

Accenture is large, fairly well-known company that has gone downhill for the last few years. I feel like I was discriminated against while working there for almost 3 years because of my sexual orientation (straight), having a family, and for not supporting their political beliefs (democratic). I finally left Accenture to join another company that celebrates diversity and inclusion of all orientations and beliefs – not just the trendy, non-traditional ones. While working at Accenture, I witnessed the following: Hiring and promoting only employees that have the same ethnic background as the manager. Showing preference to LGBT employees when it comes to promotions and favorable job positions. I worked in a group where all the team leads and QA leads were members of the LGBT community. The only employee to be promoted that wasn’t part of this community was quickly ostracized and ended up having to quit. Discriminating against employees who have families. Employees who needed to take time off for family reasons (maternity, sickness, etc) were disassociated when they returned, forcing them to eventually quit, Low paying positions with miniscule pay increases when promoted

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.
