Hello. I have read many threads on the site and generally get the feeling that Accenture is a great place to start a graduate career but there remain question marks over their culture and working hours. I have also read good things about PA especially their culture although they do pay more. Could someone in the know enlighten me on why Accenture seems to get the thumbs down for its culture and are the working hours really that bad. Also how strong is the PA brand and how good is this supposed culture that is said to exist. What of the work life balance. Which if you were all graduates would you opt for and mainly why? cheers
