So the strategy houses are called MBB, Deloitte etc are called Big 4, and then there’s the 5 WITCH companies.
Is there a collective name for Accenture, IBM, CapGemini etc.? Seems like they need one too

Opposite order of influence/importance though

LOL there’s no nickname because nobody actually wants to work at those firms, they’re just where you end up when you don’t have other options 🤷 yes that is my exact situation btw

Nah keep dreaming that Accenture is some glorious paradise. I fully admit that I’m at a garbage firm and am trying to get out. It’s scary to see real life people with Stockholm syndrome 🤷

I usually see Accenture put with big 4 (B4+A)

Sometimes see big 6 as B4+ACN+IBM

But in general no one refers to cap gem lol

funny

Lol it’s not even mine, just something I’ve seen

Accenture competes with B4 more often than IBM

smart

Accenture is an industry of one! 🤣

It's kinda true though, all public messaging aside. I think they are more comparable to big 4 but don't belong in the category for reasons.

Yeah, I think also these organisation do so many things that it depends which aspect someone is focusing upon.

For much of tech implementation consulting, similar ballpark and I’d say Accenture & Deloitte are more similar than KPMG & Deloitte.

If it’s audit, assurance, tax, corporate finance, strategy, legal, or advisory stuff, probably the Big 4 are very similar to each other and not similar to Accenture.
