Where MBAs Want to Work The Company Accenture doesn’t have quite the cache among MBAs that the large strategy firms such as McKinsey and Bain do. But in 2004 it moved up two notches to number 27, between PricewaterhouseCoopers and Lehman Brothers. The following ranking is a result of Universum’s 2004 survey of MBAs, who ranked the companies where they would most like to work. Consulting Firms that Ranked in the Top 50 Rank Firm 1 McKinsey & Co. 4 IBM 7 Bain & Co. 10 Booz Allen Hamilton 11 Deloitte 13 Boston Consulting Group 27 Accenture Source: Based on a study by Universum, published in Fortune.
