Pros

--Broad range of experiences - because of its sheer size, broad list of clients and industries, large number of services it offers and its geographic span Accenture can offer a huge amount of opportunities to be exposed to things you want to see and learn. --Great training and on-the-job learning - Accenture invests heavily in training its employees. Before going on his / her first project assignment each analyst or consultant spends 3 weeks in formal training. In addition, the majority of learning occurs on the job through mentoring from managers with more experience or others in the practice. --Great people to work with - even with its over 180,000 employees worldwide, Accenture manages to provide an atmosphere where you feel a part of a community or practice and are free to bond and exchange experience and ideas with colleagues with a broad range of interests and experiences.

Cons

--Accenture's focus is IT, even in projects that start out as non-IT. There is a lot of IT knowledge around and they lead the industry in that area. However, if you're not into IT Accenture may not be the best place to start your career.

Pros

Great place to start a career. I learned a ton, got to see lots of different types of companies, and enjoyed my time at ACN.

Cons

Project selection can vary widely. They don't want you sitting 'on the bench' so whatever project picks you is where you'll go for your first project.

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.
