Pretty boilerplate, but here's what we're evaluating when you do the case interview.
-Analytical thought process: Do you zero in on key facts & issues? Do you put structure on how you explore ideas and move from one to another?
-Creativity: Can you look at issues in new and unconventional way? Can you spot hidden or adjacent opportunities?
-Decisiveness: Once you've done your analysis, do you act promptly and confidently? Do you take a stand on your recommendations?
-Quantitative skills: Do you understand how to interpret and analyze numbers? Can you produce relevant and accurate calculations?
Soft skills assessed during case (may overlap with above)
-Poise: Are you confident in your answer? How do you handle yourself when you make a mistale? Do you perform well under pressure? Can you adapt to new information?
-Communication: Can you articulate your thoughts clearly? Is your structure / hypothesis clear in your questions and thoughts?
-Attitude: Will your coworkers enjoy spending long hours with you? Do you maintain a positive attitude during stressful interviews?
-And More: Do you display energy & drive? Do you show initiative? Do you manage time effectively? Do you demonstrate decisiveness? Do you convey a genuine interest in the firm?

Example case question:
Pharma Co has engaged Accenture to evaluate if they should pursue development of a new medication for a specific type of bone degeneration. Pharma Co wants to understand if their company is well-positioned to enter this market - is this an attractive market, and how should Pharma Co proceed?
Sure, it's a pretty generic market entry question. The point is not to throw some huge curveball of a case at the candidate - more so to see how well you can tackle a realistic problem in a structured, well-communicated manner.
