Interview
Applied online a few years ago. Got a call from recruiter who discussed my background. He was very prompt and setup a followup tech PM interview within a week. This was followed by a behavior interview and then a final face to face interview. The tech interview was not deep technically, went into more of the PM skills. Behavior interview was very interesting. The final interview was a breeze. The overall process was smooth - the recruiter followed up as soon as I sent a note after an interview.
One thing I did not quite understand was the various consulting groups - Management, Systems Integration and Technology Consulting. Was hired into MC first and later on moved to the SI group. It is good to understand the exact group you will be joining and your functions. Overall the interview process though was smooth and very professional and even the move internally later on was accepted once I initiated it after an year or so.
One of the things they are very upfront is the amount of travel involved in consulting.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Behavior interview - how did you resolve a conflict in your team (explain your real life approach)?
I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Accenture (Londres, Inglaterra) in Nov 2010
Interview
Three interviews.
1. "Blue Sky thinking" interview - the most interesting I have ever done. Accenture calls it something different. Basically they give you a situation (e.g. how to make cities smart) and leave you in the room for 10 mins. then the come back and grill you for 45 mins on your thoughts. Really interesting way to test your thinking.
2. Case Interview - Standard stuff. Nothing special except that they had printed the case, which made it a bit easier
3. Partner Interview - Again very standard stuff. "Fit" Interview.
