I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Accenture in Jun 2015
Interview
Process was very quick and straight forward. An HR screening interview, technical skills background checks, and then 3 Senior Executive Interviews.
1st relationship based, soft skills assessment, objection response
2nd very technical, hard skills, architectural and market trends perception points
3rd all commercial based. Who do you know, which doors can you open, how do you feel under pressure.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Accenture (New York, NY) in Jun 2011
Interview
I received a call from a recruiter, then a call from the senior manager, then the partner. I traveled to another city for the 1:1, waited a long time (EVERYBODY runs late there) and the person really didn't have much to ask, and I never saw them again. They are very fast with every thing, a true bias for action. There are tons of young folks there so if you have a single wrinkle or a single grey hair, you are out of the norm at midlevel management. They party hard.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Accenture (New York, NY) in Jan 2015
Interview
With a total six interviews, Accenture’s interview process is rather structured. More specifically, there were: 1 HR, 1 Behavior, 2 Tech skills, and 2 In-person (NYC) interviews. Each interview was about one hour long that always started with outlining the flow of the interview. The specific questions were general in nature however, the interviewer always probed for a deeper understanding. The probes were aimed at understanding and not to throw and curve balls. It was a good and interesting experience.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
An example from the Behavior interview: When working in a matrix organization, what do you think are the biggest challenges?
An example from the Behavior interview: Tell me about a situation where you had to agree to an approach to a business problem that you didn't agree with? How did you handle that?
