I am having trouble deciding between internship offers from Capital One for the Business Analyst role and Accenture for the Strategy Analyst role. Any thoughts/advice would be greatly appreciated!
Also curious as to which would look better for MBB full time recruiting?

accenture strat is better. Capital one strat would be interesting too but you got the business analyst role.
Don't know about Accenture Strategy, they've done a lot of restructuring that might have killed the brand.
Accenture by far
May I ask why you say that?
Maybe exaggerating a bit, but accenture strat is a traditional strategy consulting role while cap one BA is more data analytics focused (as others have mentioned, cap one has an internal strategy team. you can apply to transfer to that after your summer but it will be hard). If you really want to develop analytics skills, specialize in financial services, or want to live in DC/with good WLB there's a case to be made for cap one but accenture has more variety in projects, a better brand name, and will set you up better for future opportunities -- just my 0.2c though
I am curious what people think of Accenture Strategy as far as their reputation. I don't think they stack up to MBB, but I wonder how other firms perceive them.

accenture strat is tier 2, better than big four strategy arms.
Not necessarily true after they restructured. Accenture Strategy has diluted its brand quite badly now.
What is your reasoning for putting Accenture Strategy over EY-Parthenon, S& or Deloitte S&O?
I have had trouble understanding the differences between T-2 spots.
Accenture strategy definitely is not above big 4 anymore, in line if anything and below EY-Parthenon, S&, Deloitte S&O In my/friends eyes

What about C1 BA intern vs Simon-Kucher in the US? What are some consulting companies that C1 BA would be better than the alternative?
Capital One Strategy > Accenture Strategy > Capital One Business Analyst
Either would look great for MBB full time. The question you should ask is- which would you rather do full time?
What would be good factors to consider In evaluating either for full time?
Here were the factors that I would consider:
1. What is the work like and does it sound interesting
2. What will you learn from the job
3. What are the potential opportunities for career growth (promotions, exit opps, company brand on your resume)
4. Hours/WLB and pay
(Location can be a dealbreaker so consider that too if you are strongly against working in the location the company is in)
curious why this was downvoted, do others not agree that C1 looks good or what part of that statement is there disagreement? (genuinely curious)
Also does this imply that C1 BA intern is a competitive offer to land?

I don't know why nobody is acknowledging the fact that Accenture has reorganized to have a "Strategy and Consulting" division where the people doing SAP implementation are working in the same division as those doing strategy cases, which decimates the Strategy brand.
Because it doesn't affect the direction, mandate, or quality of Accenture Strategy. The new construct simply consolidates the P&Ls at the region level to push MDs to be more collaborative across service lines but really is no different than former Deloitte S&O. Under the new model, Strategy still maintains its separate recruiting channels/schools, specialized training/development, distinct staffing models/pipelines/work, and differentiated comp. In fact, this is no different than how it used to be pre-2014/2015 before Strategy was carved out with a separate identity. Throughout it all, nothing has changed from a day-to-day perspective. It's not like Strategy folks are now implementing SAP and MC folks are now doing Strategy work and that is what really matters.
