Here's something I found on the McK board on Vault:
"I would argue that AC strat stands at "tier 1.5." AC is strong. Clearly not as well recognized for strat as McK/Bain/BCG, but probably the equal of other "traditional" players like Booz Allen. Personally, I think AC strat blows away most others outside the "traditional" firms ... dominates the strat practices in the Big 5, and generally dominates boutiques."
This was written late last year, before AC changed its name to Accenture. Accenture really is not a Big 5 firm any more. It's moved up the world. The Andersen folks over at AA/AW have their own consulting attempt, so you might consider that firm the 5th of the Big 5. |

The problem is that Accenture can't recruit best and the brightest. They can only recruit those who were unable to get offers from M/B/B, Booz, Monitor, Mercer and possibly AT Kearney. Accenture people that I had chance to get to know were really mediocre to say the least. Not to mention the sweatshoplike environment and culture.
