Pros
Accenture is a great place to learn. You work with other really bright people who usually are highly motivated and have wonderful world experiences that they bring with them. When working for Accenture, the mentality is "work-hard, play-hard" and I think that has reigned entirely true in my nearly four years of experience with the company. This is both a good thing and a bad thing. Another good reason to work for Accenture is that they are a reputable organization. The company is growing and posting solid numbers in a difficult economy which is unusual given the fact that consulting companies tend to do poorly in tougher economic times. I give credit to an excellent senior management team which filters through the ranks throughout Accenture.
Cons
Without a doubt the single toughest part of working with Accenture is the work-life balance. I know this is a struggle whenever you work for a large company, but it seems extremely true in this case. I typically work 60 hours a week and have little time for much other than work. Another difficult part of the work is the travel aspect. Being away from loved ones for 4 days a week can take a toll on a relationship. I would highly recommend Accenture as a place to work straight out of college with no attachments, but once it comes time to settle down, it becomes a difficult proposition.
