Pros: It was good to have product experience!

Cons: Budget issues, too much re-prioritization, and India leadership unable to stand up to US leadership. Too many people rolled off from projects, and some reorganization happening.

Pros: Best company to work with.

Cons: Salary slab is not stable.

Pros: - Flexible - Laid back (Most internal projects) - Good place for women with a lot of benefits - would totally recommend if you are one and need some "time off". - Friendly - Good onsite opportunities (Given you're in the right project). - Some projects allow you to work from home forever. - You can reach out to people higher up in the hierarchy - whether they listen to you or not is up to them. - High chance of H1B if you work for long enough (After all, this is what all Indian IT folks strive for - sad truth!).

Cons: - Bad place if you are intellectually stimulated or tech-savvy. - Bad middle and senior management. - Not the same company it once was. HR policies, senior management, and work culture have degraded immensely. It feels more like a common Indian LALA company with a false professional front than a global IT firm with values. - Cafeteria food is really bad. - No respect for employees in certain projects; they are seen as "Resources." - Do not join for any role in NCR! The projects here are pretty bad, and you will mostly have to relocate. - Accenture calls itself a Great Place to Work (GPTW), but that is about it. You will see or hear of this only in mailers with a sparse scattering of stupid events. - Bad karma. They will try to ship underdeveloped products to clients, often trying to cheat them as well by hiring and showing more people than are needed sometimes. Code quality is generally very poor; there is no TDD. - Most people join Accenture for the sake of having an IT job and are mostly passive towards technology. - Very limited training. - Bad pay if you are a fresher. You will absolutely need to switch or go onsite to earn and compensate for the dismal pay. - No 360-degree feedback for your managers. - Agile is adopted by all projects but never followed. - 3-month notice period. - There is unspoken discrimination between onsite vs. offshore management. The onsite staff often tries to downplay the IDC staff; they will keep good work away from IDC. Managers here are handcuffed by the measly project budgets set by them. - To be fair, though, they are still in line with similar companies like TCS, HCL, and Wipro and are following the same suite. The overall state of IT in India is to blame! (PS: Would still recommend Accenture over TCS, HCL, and Wipro even with all the above shortcomings.)
