I attended the Women's Day Recruiting Event and was thus fast-tracekd through the application process. After the application form (put some work into it, I think screening is rather strict), there was a short (30min) phone interview with a consultant. I was asked compency based questions mostly on teamwork, why i want to go into consulting etc. After that I attended the assessment centre the very next morning, which was quite last minute and thus had little time to prepare. It was straight forward and only 3 hours long: -presentation by current consultant -case study was read to us (basis for all exercises) -group exercise on case study -individual exercise on project planning -individual interview -info session with current analysts The experience was quite good, but I think I just got to confused in the project planning exercise. So maybe do some exercise before the assessment centre on that. It was my first assessment centre, so I can't offer comparisons..

I did a task based interview comprising several short 'case-study-esque' tasks. They were fun and engaging and with a real person! To prep I would recommend looking at some other case studies to think about why certain paths and behaviours are chosen by Accenture employees.
