I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Accenture
Interview
1. first interview at University:
very casual atmosphere, with a consultant
2. second interview on the phone
with recruiter, took one month between first interview and phone interview, recruiter seemed not to know about what was discussed at 1. interview
3. assessment center
First evening: get to know dinner
Next Day: Group case, individual case and presentation, personal interview, Profession interview (case about e.g. People and Change, CRM or Financial Services) - challenging but doable
different recruiters again, they did not seem to know what was communicated at 1st and 2nd interview (e.g. I applied for strategy but was invited for the operations assessment center)
you get an elaborate feedback right at the end of the day with either a job offer or not

Question 1
How are you going to use your degree and provide a new solution to our clients.
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Accenture (Londres, Inglaterra) in Aug 2013
Interview
Pre-interview phase: consisting of four short essays (roughly 500 words, a little more). Basically, you'll need to really research the website in order to answer the questions (what's a day of an analyst like? What do we do in our consulting?)
Telephone Interview: Three part interview consisting of questions on competency, the company, and a test case study. Pretty simple stuff if you've done the research for the previous questions.
Assessment day: Longer test case with other candidates testing your ability to work together and develop a project plan. Also consists of another competency overview.

Question 1
It's not difficult, but the question that sometimes catches people off guard: "Who are our competitors? In what areas?"
