Pros
  • The company is always changing, and changing much more quickly than its clients (which is impressive given that ACN is huge).
  • Focus on people (well, it is a people business).
  • Usually very nice colleagues and a very good atmosphere within the company.
  • Lots of training opportunities.
  • Career development opportunities in general (if you are willing to work hard).
  • A very good place if you want to get into management and leadership domains in the long run.
  • Changing projects over time (and also industries) keeps you learning about different businesses and domains within a business (and has been a nice experience so far).
Cons
  • Not the perfect place if you want to become a world-class software engineer changing the world directly, working in cutting-edge IT systems that serve as infrastructure (databases, messaging systems, ...). ACN is not an IT tech innovator itself, but it is a business and IT innovator for businesses that themselves are not IT companies (usually).

  • Typical projects at huge clients can be a bit boring (also related to constraints that clients put on the possible means to use in an IT project, but there are some very interesting ones from a technology point of view).

  • Entry-level salaries are low (but rise as you climb the career ladder).
