Andersen Consulting is the biggest consulting firm in the world, and still growing like gangbusters; the firm's revenues grew by more than 20% annually every year from 1994 to 1997. Formed in 1989, the firm very quickly moved to the head of the industry both by concentrating in its traditional strength in IT consulting and by moving into other fields--management consulting, human resources consulting, and outsourcing, among others--in a big way. Now it's trying to break its ties with its parent firm, the tax and accounting giant Arthur Andersen. Will it succeed in its quest for independence? Will the battle with Arthur Andersen have any effect on the job seeker? How can you best prepare for your interviews with this consulting King Kong? The answers are all here, in the new WetFeet.com Insider Guide.

Old Info,
By A Customer
This review is from: Accenture (formerly Andersen Consulting): The WetFeet.com Insider Guide (Wetfoot.Com Insider Guide) (Paperback)
This is an old book with generic information. The only mention of the change to Accenture is a sticker on the cover. For the high price, I expected more information on the particular business lines they cover, the job rankings and levels, more specifics on everything. I learned more about the company from their own website...
