I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Accenture (Lisboa, Lisboa) in Jun 2011
Interview
A 1 on 1 interview with a Senior Executive. Cordial environment, open conversation. Unfortunately, there was a clear distance between the conditions and salary proposed and the real outcome. This was a position for Angola, and the hiring process took place in Lisbon, so all the administrative and visa related issues were not correctly addressed, resulting on a 40% global salary loss, with no explanations whatsoever advanced by senior management.

Question 1
No difficult questions were made during the interview.
I applied online. The process took 4+ months. I interviewed at Accenture (Londres, Inglaterra) in Feb 2011
Interview
They have an extremely large, confusing and red taped hiring process.It may be because of the current recession period but it takes on an average 6 months to recruit someone. Interviews are very strict and disciplined. But it all depends upon the area you are trying to join and demand at the level.

Question 1
Case Study alongwith technical discussion with the Partner
The hunt, approach, CV, interview - the entire process went incredibly efficiently. I was approached quite informally via a mutual acquaintance, and the initial discussion was quite informal and relaxed. I was then asked to provide a CV and from that point on they were very quick to respond. The fact that I actually compared to other interview processes did very little in the way of IQ or personality, or competency tests should have been a heads up for me. But the interview process was exceptionally professional and efficient.

Question 1
"There will be some travel required for this position, is this a problem for you?" This is a major catch.
If you have been approached, absolutely guaranteed without a shadow of doubt 100% they know EXACTLY where they want you to be. Ask them to tell you precisely. When I asked, the anwer was that the majority of the work that was my area was close to where I lived, I left it at that. When I joined my project was a significant secondment - the client had known me by NAME some 3 months prior to me accepting - but this was not told to me upfront.
