I know that some companies have specific formats which means there are better ways to prepare than others. For PWC they gie you 15 minutes to read a case then just ask you questions, does anyone know if Accenture is more like that or the more traditional way Mckinsey gives their cases?

Hi,
In general the interviews at Accenture are not that structured:
- No clear guidelines for cases, so the case depends on the interviewer
- 60% chance that it will be marketsizing
- 40% chance - profitability and general frameworks
- Interviewers are less demanding than at Big3. unless you meet an ex-big3 consultant as an interviewer
- For fit I would prepare: Story about yourself; Why consulting; Why Accenture; Leadership; Team work; Your questions to the interviewer

Ex-MBB, Experienced Hire; I will teach you not only the how, but also the why of case interviews
My understanding is the format is standard interviewee-led case, as with BCG, Bain... Many companies have differences by office however, might be the case w/ Accenture as well.

Hi! I just finished my 3rd round at McKinsey. About 30 minutes later they called to schedule another interview with HR. Does this mean I passed the 3rd round? The recruiter mentioned that no final decision has been made yet, and I’m not entirely sure how it went I did mistakes
