Interviewed Apr 2012 in Reston, VA (took 2 months)
The first interview was a basic dissection of my resume by a recruiter. The second was a situational interview that lasted for 1 hour and was very in depth. The third and final round consisted of 4 interviews....the first with 2 current CFM's, the second with a specialist, the third with a manager, and the fourth with the head of the CFM program. All of the interviews from the final round except the specialist interview was just casual talking about Accenture....no one really referenced my resume in this round....Know about the company, why you want to work there, and read about current news.

Interviewed Aug 2011 (took 2 months)
I got a call from the recruiter after being referred by an employee. It consisted of basic resume questions. She called after two weeks that I'll move on to the next round of phone interview, which will be based on behavioral questions. It was very difficult to convince the 2nd interviewer, she was probing every situation I described, have to prepare very well and be confident. Then after another 2 weeks I got a call saying that they want to schedule an in-office interview with me. I met with a peer, who was very nice. Then another round of behavioral question with a manger, who was very nice as well. But the senior manager who came at the end, seemed really reluctant to even talk, she made me feel very unwelcome! I waited another 3 weeks for them to let me know that I did not qualify!

Interviewed Jul 2011 in Dallas, TX (took 2 months)
I applied online for this specific role in May 2011 and I heard from them (mid June 2011) for a phone interview. All together I had 2 phone interviews, I had one phone interview that consisted of them telling me about the position. My 2nd interview (Mid July 2011) was another phone interview that was situational based ("tell me about a time"), very easygoing not too hard and very conversational. My last interview (Late July 2011) was an on site interview which lasted about an hour and a half. In interviewed with 3 people, an analyst, a specialist, and a senior manager. In the analyst interview, he asked me about some of the jobs on my resume (Know what's on your RESUME!!!) and we had a few situational based questions, he was conversational as well. In the specialist interview, we went over my skills. Not hard at all, she just asked me about times I had worked on a budget, worked on an analysis, and times that I worked with teams. The last interview with the senior manager was very easy as well. We didn't talk about much, she just explained to me the atmosphere at Accenture. All in all the interview process was fairly easy, but I prepared for my interviews for many hours.

Interviewed Jul 2011 in Reston, VA (took 3 weeks)
1. I applied on Monster
2. Recruiter contacted me from Georgia-went over my resume and my interest in Accenture
3. Recruiter sets me up with a situational interview-questions are asked such as "Tell me about a time where you had to build credibility" and "tell me about a time when you had to do deep financial analyses". These are examples of situational questions. The interviewer stated I did well and that I will hear back from the recruiter
4. The recruiter responds via email to me with positive feedback and set me up with the team (Analyst, Specialist, Mgr) that same week.
5. The team couldnt make that week so we rescheduled for another week.
6. Interview finally scheduled
7. Interview was 1:1 with Analyst, Specialist, and Mgr. Analyst was pretty basic. She wants to get you to summarize what you know about the role so that you are ready for the next interview going forward. You can ask questions. Specialist had behavioral questions, such as "tell me about a time when you worked on a budget". Some responses from the Specialist I got was "excellent response". Mgr meeting is next to determine what you know about the company. The manager i interviewed with, you may have a good rapport. He/she asks questions about what you know about Accenture, and just a dissection of your resume. It also seems as if he/she is picking your brain at this point. I felt as if questions were deviating from the role. Overall I felt the interview process was good.
8. Contacted by recruiter to give feedback. Ill just leave it at that lol..
Accenture seems to commonly choose people right out of college. As I looked around, i noticed people much younger than me at the Analyst level. That, and they start EVERYONE at an Analyst level so be ready to start off at 50k per annum and dont think about negotiating. Just be mindful of this, they recruit from college and if you are not from this range, you may not be a great cultural fit.

Interviewed Mar 2011 (took 2 weeks)
Applied online through the career website, heard back from HR about 1 week after I had applied. Initial phone screen interview very basic go over your resume nothing you should be worried about. HR rep scheduled both a in-office and phone situational interview. In-office came first, met with 4 employees...a analyst, specialist, manager, sr. manager. Analyst is very basic what do you know about acn, about the cfm role and they give you background info on the position..definitely pay attention to this part its a common theme throughout the process to ask what you know about the position. specialist interview is the situational interview...i had prepared for the typical behavioral questions but they asked more specific question related to the position. i.e. experience budgeting, financial analysis of businesses. mgr and sr. mgr interviews are more getting to know you interviews to see if you are interested in the position and how you would fit in, some questions on your resume, and most of the time them going over the group and position, its a good opportunity to ask questions and show your interest in the role. waiting for the phone interview which is suppose to be behavioral based.

Interviewed Jan 2011 in Reston, VA (took 1 week)
spoke with a recruiter by phone about my resume, my experience, and the position as a CFM. I was then referred to the next steps of the interview process which was a situational phone interview and an in-person interview at the Reston office. The in-person interviews were scheduled first. I met with 5 Accenture employees-an analyst, a specialist, 2 managers, and a senior manager. Each interviewer asked about my knowledge about the company and what I know about the position as a CFM. I was also asked basic interview questions.
The situational phone interview unfortunately was my downfall. I thought I did my best in answering the questions but the Accenture employee didn't like my answers even though I reiterated the same answers with the in-person interviewers. Advice: be very specific and supplement your answer with an example/experience.

Interviewed Apr 2010 in Washington, DC (took 5 weeks)
I was contacted by Accenture via e-mail to interview or have a basic phone screen. This took about 30 minutes. It was basically a backround screen to see if you were a good fit for the position. Asking things like how did you hear about the position, why did you apply, what makes you a good fit, etc. My next interview was a phone interview where I had to call in and wait to speak to my interviewer. She basically asked me 4 questions. Pretty typical questions from what I can remember. Name a time when you've faced adversity and how you've overcome it. They were 4 questions and it took about 35 to 45 minutes. The interviewer was very polite and easy to talk to. My next interview was on site in DC. I interviewed with 4 people during this process. The first person was a person my age (about 1 or 2 years out of undergrad) basically going over my resume and informing about the details of the position I've applied for. I asked him a few questions and he asked me a couple as well. Nothing difficult. My second interview was with two women who had a series of specific questions to ask me. Things specific to the job I was interviewing for "Give me an example of a time when you've worked on a budget." There were 4 or 5 of these questions with follow ups. This was a little more difficult than nomral, but still not exceedingly comfortable. Also, they asked me what I knew about the position. This was a recurring theme throughout each of the interviews I had on site. Every interview they would ask what I knew about the position and write down what I said. The third interview was with a guy that was a manager of some sort. He came in and completely dissected my resume going over everything I had on there point by point. Believe me when I say you have to know everything in detail that you have on your resume. He was also a little rude and cold and not very engaging. This one took the most time and was pretty draining. The last was with another higher up and she basically went over what the position entailed and what interested me about it. Asked me about my strengths & weaknesses and asked me about what I knew about the position.

Interviewed Jan 2008 (took 2 days)
Consisted of screening phone interview, personality / aptitude inteview, followed by in-office interviewing with three separate individuals (analyst, specialist, and manager/senior manager). Analyst interview was mostly a meet and greet and permission for Q&A on any questions you might have. Specialist interview was a skills interview - nothing too complicated...mostly scenario-driven questions and examples of how you have approached problem-solving / analytics in the past. Manager / Senior manager highlights corporate overview and is mostly an introduction to Accenture operations and where you fit.
