After an initial phone screening, there are typically 3-4 rounds of interviews, including a final interview with a MD (Partner). One of the interviews will be a behavioral assessment. Depending on your interviewer, you may encounter case interview questions, and potentially in different formats. These could be puzzles or cases involving different business functions. Format could vary from verbal cases to written cases.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
I literally received an exam paper of business cases. It had several mini cases that I had to solve by analysing the data provided and delivering my recommendations.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Accenture (Montreal, QC) in Oct 2012
Interview
The interview process was two tiered. An on the spot case question that you had to decipher and another which lasted longer (60 minutes) and involved greater calculation. It began with a group of candidates in one room, each candidate was partnered with the first interviewer who at first conducted a generic interview and then asked the case question. Afterwards a second interviewer came in and the long case began.
