I applied through a recruiter. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Accenture (New York, NY) in Jun 2010
Interview
I was contacted by a recruiter who forwarded my resume to HR. Everything went fine until the interview with the Partner. He is from Sweden and one of the first questions he asked me was "How old are you?" I was shocked. Needless to say I didn't get an offer. I believe this is another example of managers hostility towards workers over 40.
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
