I have two friends that used to work there so their perspective and a small sample: A bit toxic and really, really long hours but less travel than MBB. Both of them struggled to exit to strategy manager positions.

I personally attended an open day when I was doing my MBA. They spoke more about McKinsey than LEK. I was not impressed and never applied.

Similar to the things I've heard. Had an MBA presentation at our school just a few days ago which I heard was attended by a total of 10 people including 5 company representatives...

Seems rough quite honestly. I’d choose other reputable T2 shops over them. But if it’s your only option, still a decent place to start your career. You’ll probably just be exhausted

Hello!

I joined Accenture 5 months back as a lateral hire ( Level 11 ) and have been a part of a project since day one.

I am not enjoying my work here, no motivation at all. Dreaded to report to work and having stress and anxiety. My manager is trying to micromanage me as productivity is on the lower side.

Another thing is, I have started to dislike my current tech and no more interested in it.
What are my options here ?
Is project release possible ?
or I have to put down papers ?
