Vantaggi
Accenture is a phenomenal place to launch a career. They understand how to work with early twentysomethings and help grow them into professionals. Hours can be bad at times, but the worst weeks only come at the end of the project lifecycle. If you are capable of driving your own career, being on the look out for opportunities within the firm and taking a really proactive approach as an analyst, you'll move up fast.
Svantaggi
Performance rankings do not impact salaries enough. Just anecdotally, most women in our "start group" made significantly less then men in the beginning-- because the women didn't negotiate. Because all raises are then on a proportional basis, it can be hard to catch up even if you outperform your peers that started higher. Accenture should address this by rethinking their zoning structure.
