Anonymous A asked on Sep 10, 2019

Hey guys,

I have got an Accenture Middle-East case interview next week after a manager referred me. They just told me that it will be a case interview.

I have been preparing for MBB Cases and would like to know if I should prepare something else for Accenture.

Please give your recommendations!

Thank you!

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 market sizing
  • 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

Best
