I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Accenture in Feb 2012
Interview
Got a call from an Accenture recruiter who went through a list of questions. She then passed me on to a peer for a technical interview. On successful completion of the tech interview, I went through a behavioral interview followed by interviews with 2 partners - the first over video call and the second over phone. Most questions were not that deep and and easy enough to answer. Not sure what exactly happened at the last 2 interviews but I did not get the offer. The recruiter hinted at not the right experience when I called her to debrief but I'm surprised it was not a red flag in the first 3 rounds.
Everyone I talked to was very professional and enjoyable to talk to.
Not that it matters but the salary we were discussing was lower that what I was discussing with other companies. So they do pay less than the competition.
Advice to other interviewing.. Make sure there's a good fit for the job if you don't want to waste your time and be prepared to go into detail about your job experience.
1 round with HR, 3 rounds of case studies (1 principal, 2 Managing directors). Themes of case studies are exactly related to the PiP type projects and situations and are sourced from direct experience of each interviewer
The interview process was professional and well organized. It started with an initial recruiter conversation to discuss my background, the role, compensation expectations, and overall fit. From there, I met with several leaders across the organization to discuss my experience with enterprise transformation, SAP delivery, program leadership, client management, and operating in complex consulting environments. The conversations were thoughtful and focused on both technical experience and leadership style.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about a time you led a complex transformation program with multiple stakeholders and competing priorities.
Very sorry experience with unrelated questions. Interviewer was not able to put the interviewee at ease and tried to focus on what they could not bring to the table rather than what they could.
