I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Accenture (Ithaca, NY) in Oct 2015
Interview
Pretty standard. I have a first round purely behavioral interview, which was very conversational. They seemed genuinely interested in my experiences, and I had pleasant conversation. Second and final round was on campus. There were two interviews--a behavioral and a case. The case was standard and nothing too difficult. I was very nervous after and could not gauge how went. I was delighted to get a call saying that I received an offer a week and a half later.

Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Describe a project you worked on where you were given little to no guidance.
I applied through college or university. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Accenture (Philadelphia, PA) in Nov 2015
Interview
1) Resume Drop 2) A few weeks later, got an email to set up a 45 minute phone interview. Asked behavioral questions (describe leadership experience, professional relationships you've had etc). Asked a lot about my extracurricular experiences and leadership, so make sure you can speak to every single thing you have listed on your resume! 3) Personality Assessment, ~150 questions asking to pick between personality traits (i.e. It takes me time to get a joke vs. I like having everything organized) --not sure how important this quiz is to the overall application process, but take it seriously. 3) About a week after the first interview, invited for the on campus interview which was 2 back-to-back 45 minute interviews. Very conversational. Case interview was a business problem, given 10 minutes to read through and then talk through solutions: Basically a company has a problem where they are not streamlined, disorganized, and don't have system to track metrics of their deliverables. It was kind of difficult, but be able to talk to through it with your interviewer, and think of questions along the way as well as solutions to solve the problems. I don't have a business or specific IT background, so I just pulled from my internship experiences to provide solutions. Read case studies on how Accenture generally approaches business problems and frame your answer around that (operational efficiency, cutting costs, streamlining, lean six sigma etc). Second interview was purely conversation, no behavioral questions asked-this is the confirming interview. Have lots of questions prepared, ask about the interviewer's experience, make conversation about the position. I heard back within 3 business days and received physical offer package a few days after that. Recruiter was very nice and responsive :) Overall I had a very positive experience, the interviewers were typing on their computer, but they were writing your answers down for some of the parts (especially during the case interview) It's not them being rude!!! It's them wanting to have positive notes about you for when they decide who to give offers to.
