Pros

If you are looking for just the money and not bothered where and what technology you are heading towards, and if you have no goals and ambitions of opening your own firm or if you are not business-minded, Accenture is the best to work for in the long run.

I love to be in this company, but look for cons...

Accenture emphasizes teamwork. The values and culture are so good that you feel great when you adhere to them, as well as when you break them (just kidding!). It is well-disciplined and superbly maintained. The ambiance is especially evident in the response of a new guy in the recreation room.

You can learn anything in the company, including games. Your soft skills get polished, as well as technical skills that are given a go-ahead.

The training programs organized every quarter boost you on the way you handle things.

Cons

Let's come to the downsides:

As a fresher, you don't get an opportunity to work in your area of interest. If you are interested in C, C++, or device drivers, you can end up in Mainframe.

Recognition from senior management is blindfolded; you are not rewarded for the work done by you; instead, it goes to your colleague who just managed to send the email as if he has contributed.

Little bit of biasing exists, very little. Might be it exists in every company.

Advice to Management

Recognize the quality of a resource by looking through thin layers rather than from your own perspective.
