I wouldn't say there's a bias towards students from foreign uni as there are plenty of local graduates in Accenture that I know of. I believe the key criteria pre-determined by Accenture is your ability to converse and write in English.

Employees from the solution workforce have the potential to be promoted every 6 months, and their career path is longer compared to those from the consulting workforce. Employees from the consulting workforce can only be promoted within a minimum of 1.5 years, and there are some people who have not been promoted yet at all in 3 years. Accenture is an equal opportunity employer whereby we reward people according to how brilliant they are.
