The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Accenture in May 2011
Interview
I applied online. There was 1 presentation session (on the firm, its culture, etc.). It was followed by 2 interviews (1 + 2 hours) with the hiring Senior Manager. Then there was a personality test, as the basis for an interview with 2 representatives from the Human Resources department. After that there was an interview (including a case-study presentation) with the hiring Partner. All participants were very polite and professional. Unfortunately they meant that I was too ambitious for them, i.e. they felt that their bureaucratic structure and promotion practices would cause me to leave in future!
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
From interview with Senior Manager: "Walk me through a typical planning process for a IT-delivery project".
Insgesamt gab es vier Gespräche. Eins mit HR, eins mit HR und Senior Manager und zwei mit Partnern. Sehr professionell und angenehme Gespräche. Die Gespräche liefen über Zoom. Die Zeitspanne war zwischen 30-60 Minuten.
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
