Pros
  1. Good exposure to the projects when you join from scratch.
  2. Big clients. You would get a chance to work for Fortune Top 20 companies.
  3. Onshore chances if performed better, and of course, your luck ;)
Cons
  1. Nowadays, I can see there is cost-cutting in Accenture. They don't even keep newspapers at reception now

  2. Work-life is not always good. I saw a manager sitting for 12+ hours, and still, after going home, he needs to log in again for calls. Really bad.

  3. "Chatugiri"! This word and such people always exist in every company. So, yes, no exception here as well.

  4. Timings are 8:30 to 6:30 (10 hours), may go to 7:30 or more, and you will not be appreciated :)

  5. A manager may misuse his power and can ruin your career and opportunities, and a senior manager will support him. That's true.

Advice to Management
  1. There should be a transparent policy for promotion.
  2. Managers should not have the full right to spoil anyone's career.
