Pros
The best reason to work at Accenture is the broad set of experiences you'll gain across a range of businesses. If you end up pigeonholed doing the same thing over and over, it's your own fault as opportunities abound to change it up. After that, you've all heard that it's the "people". I'm not as impressed by everyone I meet these days, but the high flyers at Accenture can go toe to toe with any thought leader, business developer, or business manager in the world. Finally, Tiger Woods. I mean come on, you got to love that guy. He's the greatest.
Kontras
Travel, travel, travel - the routine of life on the road wears down after a long time. However, there's also a rush of being able to solely focus on work when you're on the road. It's a schizophrenic lifestyle Risk/reward balance - there isn't enough upside at Accenture to really roll the dice and make it big. The flip side of that though is that there's a tremendous safety net. Only the calculated risks go forward and if they fail, there's plenty of back up to catch you before you fall too far. Profitable growth is great for shareholders, but the overweight focus on it grates on employees.
