Pros

The environment is a bit relaxed in the beginning when you join, so you get to make a lot of friends and have a good time.

Cons

Everything at Accenture depends on your luck: whether you are selected as ASE or AASE, which stream you'll get for training, whether you get a good project, a bad one, or you'll simply be on the bench for months. You can go an entire year without proper work experience, and before you know it, you are no longer a fresher. Even if you want to switch your job, you simply can't because even if you were employed for a year, you have absolutely no experience which your new potential employer would expect you to have. So, for freshers, it is most advisable to look for internships or jobs that provide you with proper work experience. But if you believe in your luck a little too much, go ahead with Accenture. Who knows, you might just have a good experience. Otherwise, it is simply career suicide.

Advice to Management

Irresponsible managers would leave you idle for months. They don't care if you have work at hand or not. They don't care if you are getting frustrated on bench period, having absolutely nothing to do and wasting precious time.
