Interviewed Oct 2009 (took 2 months)

First round started with a current analyst asking me if I had questions - I was nervous so i didn't but went to her afterwards and she was really great to talk to. The interviewer was a current employee who was very nice and outgoing. Basically the whole interview had me walk her through my resume and what were some important experiences. She asked me a few details about some experiences I was talking about, but that was it, lasted 30 minutes.

Second round interview was 45 minutes. Started with a group of current employees (analysts and consultants) waiting in the lobby to chat and ask questions with. Again, the interviewer was extremely nice and outgoing, very easy to talk to. Had 3-4 behavioral questions then a 15 minute case study.

Tell me about a project that had many obstacles.
Tell me about a time that you had to organize a large project.

Java Developer at Accenture

Overall Neutral Experience Interviewed and No Offer

Interviewed Oct 2009 in San Antonio, TX (took 2 days)

The first phone interview seemed like they were just trying to get a feel for who you are, as it was mostly talking about yourself, then about Accenture and the benefits that they offer their employees. The next day, I had the skills interview, which I thought went really well. I answered all of the questions that they asked immediately and to the best of my ability. I got one question about databases wrong, but it was just a mix-up of terminology...the conceptual aspect of my answer was correct. After the interview finished, the original recruiter contacted me and told me to fill out a security clearance form and fax it to them, which I did promptly. I didn't hear from them for a few days after that, so I called the original recruiter and he told me that they were no longer interested. It's kind of weird because I have a clean record and I'm 95% sure that my responses to the skills interview went very well.

Interview Questions

Why do you want to work at Accenture?
Explain what inheritance is in Java
Give me an example of when you would want to create an interface

I first went to a Women's Event to learn about firm. Then, the first interview was behavioral asking questions such as "Tell me a time when you led a team" and we spent 20 minutes talking about each question.

Just be prepared with a story to tell about different types of situations and don't make things up.
