Main factors to consider
-

-
Less office politics and more strategy work
-
Exit ops- move to AWS or Big. Tech. CXO roles
PS: My first consulting job- thinking of working for 4-5 years and then exit to Corp Strategy in AWS/BigTech
ATK: great people, seem to have some interesting projects, quick promotion schedule
Offer: (75k base, 10k signing, up to 20% bonus)
ACN Strategy : very high starting pay, big firm, seem to have a wide variety of work
Offer (85k base, 10k signing, up to 10-15% bonus
ACN Strategy offer is in M&A division
PS: Going to join these firms post MBA
Where do you want to live? The offers are in very different geographies/markets. If you want Tokyo/Asia long-term perhaps starting at ATK there is better. If looking to stay in London/Europe then maybe Accenture Strategy. Really depends where you want to be in the short and long term
Leaving the geography aside can you suggest how to decide? Should I look at how partners are in the firm or any other factors
That's up to you mate but from what I have heard - so take this with a grain of salt - ATK is more operations focused
ACN is more of a large beaurocracy. Post MBA I'd rather work at a smaller firm like Kearney. However, I'm very hesitant to suggest Tokyo over London. I think location will play a larger role than the actual firms.
I work in Tokyo and the ATK brand is very strong here (possibly better known than Bain) and is definitely a notch above Accenture Strategy Tokyo. One thing you might want to check though is how connected it is to the global organization (if that is important to you), as I feel its a fairly independent and local team (never worked there so take with copious pinches of salt).
