Forgot to respond to this. When I say former interns get projects faster, I mean it's because they already know people in the company. ACCN is HUGE about networking. It's much easier to get roles when you reach out to team/project leads directly. Leaders will put the people they know on their projects.
So in your example, if you were a BA intern but joined to do something else entirely, it's very dependent on the people you know. Basically, you have to send out emails to many different leads introducing yourself if you want better options. And you also have to do pseudo-interviews again with the leaderss so they can gauge your knowledge scope.
The Accenture experience is really like trying out those harry potter every flavour beans. Some have great experiences, while others are absolutely miserable, because it's entirely dependent on your project/client. Of the 9 connections I added on LinkedIn when I was there, 6 have already moved on to other companies. All stayed on only between 3 - 7 months.
Sorry if I'm giving you a bad impression even before you start work. But regardless of whether your experience sucks or not, Accenture is still a good company to put on your resume. I personally found another job within 2 weeks of sending out resumes.
