IBM Data science vs McKinsey Advanced Analytics vs BCG Gamma

Which of these companies weights more prestige and better exit opps? My best friend has currently done an internship at one of these, but has received an offer from the other 2 players, he doesnt care much about pay in the short term, which should he choose?
