I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Accenture (Lisboa, Lisboa) in Jun 2011
Interview
A 1 on 1 interview with a Senior Executive. Cordial environment, open conversation. Unfortunately, there was a clear distance between the conditions and salary proposed and the real outcome. This was a position for Angola, and the hiring process took place in Lisbon, so all the administrative and visa related issues were not correctly addressed, resulting on a 40% global salary loss, with no explanations whatsoever advanced by senior management.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
No difficult questions were made during the interview.
3 rounds with all case study
1. case was specific to the role being offered
2. lot of situational questions
3. more about past experience
4. Finally more grilling on why i was planning for exit
HR interview with common questions about experience, than 2 rounds with senior managers with the case and more technical questions. Common case structures, while fit questions are more specific to managerial role
Straightforward process. HR, then skills and experience, then case study and MD interview. Would recommend understanding the Accenture businesses and the big machine, as well as the core values which can show you have done your research
