I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Accenture (Paris) in Feb 2017
Interview
After the selection of my profile in a forum, they sent me an email for an appointment fixed for one moth later. It was a recruitment day that lasted from 8:30 to 14:00.
Phase 0: presentation of Accenture. Croissant + coffee
Phase 1: Solution of a case study in teams of 6 (they want to see how people "assume the different roles" in group)
The task was to act as if we were an Accenture team and make a commercial proposition for our client: a french company that has a joint venture in china and have problems of communication. It was asked also which KPI to use.
We were given time for completing sub-phases of the project like 2 min for choosing with the group which questions to ask, other time for an initial proposition and more for doing and then presenting a ppt presentation.
Phase 2: Serious game at the computer.
You were a consultant that has to help a company that sells mobiles phones getting into the market of used mobiles phones. Identify the priorities of the plan for the market entry and reorganization of the company. The plan was then divided in three phases and you should put in each the relative actions taken from a list. Say which things have more impact in each function of the organization, etc. Write an email to you superior to inform him about a meeting they displayed in a video.
Phase 3: interview with 2 managers
Answer within one week.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Q1: Present yourself and your experiences.
Q2: why Accenture? (say this part in English)
They want to be sure that you will stay working with them at the end of the stage.
Q3: for which position are you applying. Say what you don't want to do. For example, I didn't want to work as a SAP consultant.
The process took 2+ months. I interviewed at Accenture

Assessment Day für Consultant:
0800-1830
Begrüssungsrunde
Einführung Accenture
Gruppen Case Study
Vorstellung einer Projektmanagement Theorie (Rollenspiel)
Lunch
Kleiner schriftlicher Case
1:1 Interview
Am Schluss Feedback mit Offerte
Tag ganz okay, aber viel Wartezeit bis zum 1:1 Gespräch und danach Feedback. Total ca. 2-3 Stunden gewartet, dafür gleich Bescheid am Ende des Tages.
Kleiner Case war unbrauchbar und wurde auch nicht in Bewertung einbezogen. Gurpen Case spannend. Brain Teaser nicht ganz ohne!
Austausch mit Manager und Recruitern hat gefehlt. Alles sehr steril und strukturiert nach Checkliste abgelaufen. Alles nette und interessante Leute!

Interview
Four rounds: 1) Digital interview 2) Personality Test 3) Case interview 4) Closing interview
The interview process was quick and efficient. HR does not take long (1-3 days) to progress you, should you make it to the next stage.
