Hey everyone, I've been invited to the business strengths interview for the Management Consulting (London Office) role at Accenture and was wondering if anyone has any idea on the questions or the type of format this particular interview follows.
All I know is that it's a 60-minute interview with an HR recruiter/Manager and it would be broken up into two halves. The first half being two client scenarios, and the second being a strength-based interview to identify my natural strengths and motivations.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Accenture Business Strengths Interview
Hi there,
The Accenture Business Strengths interview is typically a mix of light case-style discussion and strengths-based questions. In the first half, the client scenarios are usually high-level and conversational rather than full cases, focused on how you approach ambiguous problems, communicate with clients, and think commercially rather than doing deep analysis.
The second half is strengths-based and explores what energizes you, how you naturally work, and how you behave in real situations. Questions are often open-ended and experience-based, so it’s important to be honest, reflective, and consistent rather than trying to force “consulting-style” answers. Focus on clarity, structure, and authentic examples.
Best,
Evelina
hey there :)
the interview is typically quite relaxed and feels more like a discussion than a test. In the client scenario part, they mainly look at how you approach a problem, how clearly you explain your thinking and whether you keep the client perspective in mind. It is less about getting to a single correct solution and more about structured, logical reasoning. In the strengths section, they want to understand what drives you, how you naturally act in different situations and what kind of environment you perform best in, so being genuine and using real situations from your own experience is key. Overpreparing scripted answers can actually hurt here. Let me know if you want to go deeper on this.
best,
Alessa :)
