GBS doesn’t resonate with me in terms of prestige or brand, they have always seemed to struggle after they acquired PwCs consulting practice... but just my opinion

Believe me, you don’t want to go to IBM

like

I interned with IBM GBS and have been with Accenture Strategy (in Tech Strategy) since declining the IBM offer and graduating. ACN Strategy is in a completely different league, would not consider the IBM offer

I could write a whole esaay (but won't because I'm headed to bed soon!) - literally everything. Type of work, compensation, job security, WLB, quality of leadership, quality of the overall talent pool, exit opps, brand quality, ability to own your career and have some control over which projects you are staffed to. If you can think of it, it's better at Accenture Strategy

like

I haven’t worked at Accenture but IBM was a very tough place to be a consultant-frequent bench layoffs, etc

Does Accenture Strategy have better reputation and are the exit opportunities better than IBM? For example, would it be more likely to break into corporate strategy from ACN?

Yes
