I applied online. The process took 8 months. I interviewed at Accenture
Interview
Basically 3-4 calls:1-2 filtering interviews to test your technical fitness; 1-2 HR situational interviews to make sure you are OK to hire, and 1-2 calls with hiring manager to interview you or just to say hi and provide next steps.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Describe most difficult situation with a client problem and how did you handle it - what was the outcome?
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Accenture (Pune)
Interview
The interview process is standard - but the experience was pathetic. Completely unexpected from company like Accenture. Lot of issues which were very frustrating - JD not provided - position not clear - location never confirmed. Recruitment team never cares to respond to your emails or answer phone or call back. When they call - they are always in hurry and as much brief as possible - i think they have an internal SLA of not talking to candidates for more than a minute. Emails sent to wrong address - multiple time. Feedback never shared - when they call you for next round - you understand that you have cleared the earlier - the rounds never ends. Every step has 4-6 weeks of time gap - the whole process took 6 months - and is still WIP. After going through 4 rounds and 6 months I still do not know what position they are hiring me - what will be my job responsibilities - what salary they are ready to offer - what location they are considering me - is it over or there are still more rounds - ridiculous!
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Accenture (Bengaluru) in Dec 2010
Interview
Very lengthy Interview process, Suggest attend walkin for definite results. Else they forget the candidates after certain rounds of interviews if the role is not very urgent. Need to follow up with the receruitment tea m or the referred employee
