Advice: Parthenon vs. Accenture ASCDP post MBA

Wanted to get some feedback on people's thoughts of Parthenon vs Accenture post MBA. With Accenture I would be be their New Strategy Development Program, aligned with Business Strategy, while at Parthenon I would be a generalist in their NYC office.

Any and all insights are greatly appreciated!

From my understanding the Accenture General Strategy Program is brand new, and has been rolled out to give Post MBA resources a good feel of all the different offerings within strategy, as well as the different industries. I think its a good move, but too new to really comment on how successful it will be. Accenture Strategy is still a very small piece of the overall firm, and while they are trying hard to compete with Deloitte and PwC. the offering isn't as mature (Deloitte got Monitor and PwC has Booz). I do know most of the people in the Strategy groups are solid top 10 MBA schools and lots of ivy undergrads. I would do more research and talk to folks just because the program is still very new. Hope this helps.

Did Parthenon open an NYC office or send a team to collocate with EY there after the acquisition? They historically didn't have one, and the website still doesn't list NYC among the locations.
