I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Accenture (Sydney) in Nov 2008
Interview
In my initial interview I was interviewed by a fairly uninspiring fellow - he wanted to get through it as quickly as possible as far as I could tell. This was probably understandable since there were a lot of graduates to get through, but I came out of there kind of confused really - he really seemed to want generic answers to generic questions. I don't think that their training is terribly good in terms of how to do interviews, so expect this interview to vary widely depending on who you are assigned to.
The senior executive interview however was a lot better - by this stage you are meeting with people who are more likely to challenge you - I was asked in depth about my honours thesis and masters projects. This was good, as I had a lot of material to pull from and I tried to focus on the amount of experience in working in groups, and especially in working with competing pressures from multiple interest groups (a total green light to working in the consulting industry I suppose!)
The interviews take place at head office, but clearly the majority of the workforce do not spend much time here, so it was a bit difficult to understand the people or the culture during the hiring process.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
What do you know about Accenture - where (in terms of business group and technology streams) do you see yourself fitting in
Entré por un programa llamado ISDI que recolecta recién graduados de la universidad, así que no hice ni entrevista, me dijeron a través de un llamada si estaría interesada en participar, dije que si, y poco después estaba entrando en un curso de dos meses de transformación digital con mis futuros compañeros de trabajo
I applied online. I interviewed at Accenture (Montreal, QC) in Jul 2024
Interview
It was very smooth and generally questions were from CV itself. One should be thorough with Cv and job description to answer those questions. They are looking for someone who is confident and can handle the challenges in job.

Question 1
About the previous job experience and cross questions from there
Three interviews: 1. Fit interview, 2. Case interview and 3. Interview with unit lead. Fit interview was on my background and motivations. Case interview included standard problem-solving/market sizing types of questions. The interview with unit lead was more on my expectations with Accenture and the work I might be doing.
