I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Accenture (Rom) in Oct 2014
Interview
Pretty simple. Got in touch with a partner, though a professor at my university. He told he was searching for a profile such mine and told me if I might be interested in an interview. I said yes and got a first interview with two managers (2:1) . The interview questions were easy, more oriented to understand my way of thinking than my effective business knowledge. After the first interview, I had another one with the client leading partner (1:1), and it went extremely well. He said me welcome straight away, and few days later I got the offer (internship at first, 4 months later turned into a full-time offer)
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Accenture (Singapur) in Jan 2017
Interview
Was called to attend a face to face interview which went well. However as I was also interested in another role within Accenture, the interviewer kindly arranged another interview for me with the other department. I got to the second round of the interview which was a behaviorual test (first round was a digital interview). Strangely, I did not make it past that stage, my personality and work styles must have been incompatible with what they were looking for. Questioning the accuracy of these behaviorial tests though, I feel like I am a very different person in reality from what these test might portray me to be.
I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Accenture in Oct 2016
Interview
The interview process itself was pretty straightforward (I did on campus recruiting). First round was with an Accenture Manager and the second/final round was two back to back interviews with one being a case. My issue with the interview process isn't with the interviewers, but with how the follow up after the interview was presented. Accenture prided itself in getting back to everyone in a week, but instead, I received a phone call about how I had passed the interviews, but an offer may or may not be extended due to logistical recruiting issues. The recruiter promised me a final decision within another week – two weeks later, after some other candidates and I had emailed and called without any returned responses from the recruiter, we received a vague message about there not being enough spots "at this point in time". It would have been nice being told from the very beginning that it was unlikely we would receive an offer. Instead, I waited and was hopeful for three weeks, was given hope again, but that final time I thought better of it and decided to just take it as a rejection.
Accenture's people are certainly great, but HR needs a lot more work on following through on their promises – and of course, having more empathy for the candidates.
