Going to be joining Accenture Strategy as an MBA Summer Intern (Senior Strategy Consultant), part of the ASCDP in New York City. I would love to know, in general, what office life is like and what I should watch out for as I prepare for the summer?

Like the commenter above said… the negative culture here is quite shocking coming from Big 4. I joined not even a year ago and I’m happy to bow out and start my MBA. Getting staffed in the firm is extremely painful with no assurance given. It’s a look out for yourself culture here with limited support. Also no/limited promos given the last few years. Recently rolled back DEI. The firm is not in a good place ! The pay is good though..at least initially

Have you seen how awful the cycle was? This was the only one that panned out for me, so I took it. Will try re-recruiting for the fall, but have to make the best for the summer.

Figure out which floors in the New York office specific practices sit on and then go sit on those floors for the practice you’re interested in. Tell people you’re in the office and you’d love to meet up for a quick coffee.

Build a network and make friends among peers and a level up without scaring your immediate manager. Their pressure rolls downhill and you will be well served w several good recommendations and advisors for chapter next. Don’t buy into having only one person or just a few know your value. Join events and office activities to network and talk about good work, so you are known and always be positive.

MBA with Total YOE - 7+, relevant YOE- 5.3 , Skills - CYBERSECURITY,GRC, Audit.
