Hello,

I have been selected for two positions at Accenture

Digital Payment Analyst Intern / Financial Analyst Intern

I am wondering if the case-interview depends on the position?

Also, please if you have any tips for the intern-interviews I would be glad to hear from you.

I want to be notified about updates regarding this question via email

In general, case interview does not depend on the position. However, people have more tendency to ask you a case related to their own background. Focusing on the logic of case solving and improving your problem-solving skills can help you with both positions

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

Feel free to reach out if you need prep for Accenture interviews since I worked there

Best
