Hmm. This is how my interview process is going so far with ACN:

1. ACN HR called and did 30min screening
2. Face to face with senior manager, told me might have 1 or 2 more rounds.
3. ACN HR from Dalian called and told me to have another phone interview with another senior manager.

-but got an email saying that the interview has to be rescheduled due to an emergency meeting that the interviewer has to attend.

I'm just curious of the interview process. any ideas? btw, i applied for MC as a freshie.

If you are applying for a role in MC, then you should probably already know what to expect in the next interview or so. i.e. Cases. Depending on the service lines that you are interested in, the cases can range from strategy, operations to HR performance. Behavioural questions are also expected.

In the final round, anything is fair game. Usually it would just be a conversation, but that doesn't mean a partner can't give you another case on the spot. Really, anything is fair game. Even if the question sounds ludicrous.

Would be if I take up the offer.

Actually need some advice on finding a place to stay as I am not from KL.

As a consultant, more than 80% of the time would be working at clients' office, so staying near Gardens would not be very much beneficial isn't it?
*
what are your other options?

Yes. pretty much. I would break it down to accessibility and cost. Though to be truly mobile in KL means having a car. This is one of the inconveniences of KL if you have lived in a city with superb mass transit.

So maybe, rent somewhere cheap and buy a viva.

Accenture was the 1st one that got back to me and it's pretty much the top of my list.

Yea, definitely need a car especially the need to claim mileage for travelling to client site.

Did an internship in KL before and gotta say don't really fancy the working life there at all.

Since you asked, I am guessing you're working there too?

For operations, Accenture is the best, bar none. IBM and Capgemini though direct competitors still have a long way to go. Deloitte can mount a challenge but is still building up capacity.

Yes, you could say that.

Thanks for the tip.

How many "rounds" are there? I think effectively I'm going into my 3rd (4th if you take into account the 1st phone interview with HR) this week. but the content is very much like the 2nd.
*
Depends right? Those from the UK have 2 apparently. The 2nd round is a one-stop assessment round. Cases, behavioural, CV screening etc.

Have you completed any cases? If you haven't, it's gonna come soon.

Hi what can I expect from the final recruitment session which includes the case study, group assessment, and one-on-one interview? More specifically, how can I help prepare myself for the case study and group assessment? I really want to do well so any pointers will be very appreciated.

I'm applying for the Technology Analyst Community Group (TACG) fresh grad post.

You mean Tech Analyst Consulting Group? Not too sure if there will be a case interview for that.

Group assessment is designed to assess your capacity to work in a group. Can you work in a group? Teamwork doesn't mean hogging the discussion.

Be prepared to walk over in detail, each line on your CV. Truly understand ACN's business, so you will have to do some homework here. What happend in 2001? Who's Mr Nanterme? What's a growth platform? Tip: browse the annual report. Why do you want to work for ACN?
