I applied through an employee referral. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Accenture (Singapur) in Apr 2024
Interview
I was referred by a current employee, by her sharing of my CV with someone she thought may be relevant for my interest. That person then forwarded my CV to another team, who submitted my CV for a role I didn't know about, but luckily wasn't outside my area of interest. I was interviewed straight away. The interview went for over 90 minutes and went very well. They asked if I could start quickly, and offered a potential signing bonus. The next day, I sent a note thanking them for their time. I not only never got a reply, but 4 weeks later was sent an automated email saying my application "wasn't progressing to the interview stage". I never heard from the recruiter or hiring team again. Needless to say, I won't be applying for any more Accenture roles.

Four In Office Interviews back-to-back
The first 3 interviews were pretty standard though I was getting concerned when after the 3rd interview there was still an unknown on what responsibilities the role included. Then came the in person and I started with the President who walked in 12 minutes late.
He proceeded for 45 minutes to directly attack 2 of my previous employers, one a direct partner with ISG and the other a Fortune 5 company. He had opinions about everything and everyone and wasn't afraid to make sure you knew them. He then went after my current employer, a nearly $1B consulting company before atacking my primary client for the last 5 years and I started to think maybe this was all a pressure test so I tried to stay cool but the best part was when he asked what I liked to do outside of work. After discussing my family and cub scouts and little league baseball I mentioned that I owned 4 rentals in Atlanta and I enjoy managing them and building that side business. "So you're a Slumlord." was his response. At this point I didn't care if it was a test or not and I wasn't going to work for someone who wasn't respectful to someone they didn't know. I sat through the next 3 interviews and they were generally fine and I used the time to pick some very sharp minds on the future of sourcing including AI and tips to sourcing marketing spend and other third rails. I followed up a couple times for confirmation of no offer (not that I would ever have taken it) but never heard back. I guess it's easier to call someone names to their face then to say "No" over the phone.
Buyer beware.
The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Accenture (München, Bavaria)
Interview
Einige persönliche Gespräche, nach interner Referenz. Erst 30 Minuten telefonisch. Danach vor Ort. Sehr lange Zeit zwischen den einzelnen Updates und Stages. Die Gespräche liefen vor offizieller Ausschreibung ab. Vermutlich wurde die Strategie erst später festgelegt oder das Projekt mit dem Klienten nicht gewonnen.
