Accenture Consulting Intern or Mastercard Consulting Intern

Was wondering if I could get some advice on internships: hypothetically if an offer was given for Accenture Atlanta’s CDP Internship program in the Sourcing and Procurement team versus Mastercard NY on Strategy and Transformation team, which one is recommended?

Accenture CDP isn't as prestigious for exit ops, such as a strategy role at Mastercard. If it was Accenture strategy, then it'd be a different equation

Mastercard S&T employee here. It's a great program; most of the leadership I've worked with are ex-MBB/T2 who have joined MC for the better WLB. Work quality expectations are high, output volume is reasonable. The consulting arm is relatively small but growing, and is very focused on growth. At entry level, the work you're doing is gonna be pretty similar to most consulting firms: developing powerpoint slides, wrangling thinkcell, taking notes in meetings. Pay is on par with (slightly ahead of?) Big4, 6wk vacation + 20 days full remote + 2 days per week WFH. Heavy focus on converting interns into full-time. Overall, highly recommend.
