MBA here, possibly coming in as a Summer Consultant for the ASCDP program. Would love to know about the PE practice. Is it competitive to network into? Is it a prestigious part of the firm like Bain's PEG? Any information would be helpful.

It’s very new maybe two years or so - part of our Advisory group that includes M&A. So it does not carry prestige within ACN currently (my opinion) compared to PEG or PIPE at BCG. Lots of work with those clients are also not true portfolio optimizations / advisory / diligence either but helping a PE firm with migration tot the cloud or soemthing like that. I’m a little removed so interested to hear on what others think.

Sure :)

As an ASCDPer my impression is that the PE practice doesn’t have a lot of projects to be able to staff consultants on. The only real prestige comes from the exit opportunities and I don’t think the PE practice really places people in PE firms that much. EY-P and S& have bigger and better PE practices than Accenture imo

Even in the strategy side? Interesting.
