Pros

No pros I can think of.

Cons

Having fallen for this trap, I hope to enlighten people thinking about committing the same mistake.

This is a below-average tech company. Only take a job here if it's your first experience. Don't stay longer than 2 years, or you will become one of them and never find a job anywhere else.

By 2018, all serious companies know they need to keep their IT branch in-house. The only companies that are naive enough to hire consultants like Accenture are the ones who have no clue what they are doing.

You will take part in non-engaging projects and will have very poorly skilled colleagues.

You will receive a very old laptop that's hardly capable of handling the job you have to do (forget about using Docker).

Bottom line: if you are a mid or senior-level developer, going to Accenture is career suicide.

Advice to Management

I know you're not gonna read it, so why bother.
