Pros
challenging, enjoyable work with smart people. The Strategy practice had some of the best career opportunities available. Extensive mentoring opportunities and detailed work expectations/performance reviews were just some of the benefits in career coaching. Talent was recognized and rewared appropriately. Extensive training opportunities and knowledge management resources. Dedicated research assistance was instrumental in producing presentations on the fly.
Kontras
constant travel on the consulting side; pressure to sell follow-on work. Accenture lifestyle not really geared to married couples with children. The need to be on-site for clients meant many, many nights away from home. Monday through Thursday would be at client work place; Fridays would be in Accenture home office- hoteling concept took some getting used to. best for young, single workers.
