Pros

The best thing about working for Accenture is the great amount of knowledgeable people you work with and the variety of opportunities to be found within one company. It is also a great resume builder, as it is a very well-known and respected company.

Cons

Sometimes the company is more concerned with head count for a project instead of what is delivered, sometimes causing the hiring of a lot of incompetent people trying to work with technology that they do not have a proficiency for. This leads to a major degradation in the delivered product and questions of ethics.

Also, promotions will be given based off not only hard work, but schmoozing as well.

Advice to Management

Become a bit more strict in your hiring process. This will allow you to weed out more of the folks who aren't meant to be in the industry and allow you to pay the people you want more.
