What to expect from an Interview with Senior Managers at Accenture

Hi everyone,

im in the second round of my Accenture application (Consultant Analyst Change Management/ HR Management & Learning) and im having two interviews with different senior managers. In the email they forecast an exchange on technical, industry-specific topics and consulting products.

Any ideas on what to expect or experiences with such interviews?

Thanks for your input,

Kati

Hi Kati,
it looks like a less structured than usual. I recommend reading on the company website the last engagements and articles related to the practice.
It will be crucial arriving prepared for the fit interview, where personal impact, leadership, and entrepreneurship will be assessed. I recommend to craft impactful stories about your experience that cover these 3 main pillars.

Hope it helps,
Antonello

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
