I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Accenture (Houston, TX) in Nov 2013
Interview
Was told it was a seven step process. I made it only to #4. Questions were initially very specific to my Resume. Was asked to explain in detail each period of employment in the list. Later on it got to how I handled pressure, adversity etc. Was asked to rate myself on a scale of novice to expert on several things not listed in the job requirements.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Explaining to the HR guys aspects of my previous jobs that these had no clue about. They pretended to understand.
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
Straightforward process. HR, then skills and experience, then case study and MD interview. Would recommend understanding the Accenture businesses and the big machine, as well as the core values which can show you have done your research
