Difficult Interview
Overall Positive Experience Received and Accepted Offer

Interviewed Mar 2009 in Reston, VA (took 2 days)

Mainly a behavioral interview consisting of about an hour of discussion and question and answer. Be ready to give examples abut yourself and what you have done. Practice speech and behavioral flaws. Do not say like, uh, or look away. Keep good eye contact and speak slowly and confidently and it will serve you well.

Interview Questions

Give an example when you improved efficiency.
What have you learned from a mistake?

I got the interview through a College or University and the interview consisted of a 1:1 Interview, a Drug Test and a Background Check.

Easy Interview
Overall Positive Experience Received and Declined Offer

Interviewed Oct 2008 in Dallas, TX (took 2 days)

The accenture interviews at the University of Texas were obtained by submitting your resume online to their national job bank just prior to the interviews. They then picked and emailed those canidates they wished to itnerview. There were two interviews on two seperate days. The frist day was with a lower level (manager) employee, the second was with a Partner level person. The interview does not have skills a session, and focused more on resume review and situational responses. For example, a time when you failed, or a time when a team accomplished something and your role in making it happen. The interviews struck me as extremely fit oriented, and I think they were checking to make sure your resume lined up with who you are and that you were fairly personable and that they could see you as a part of a team. Be positive, and the probobly already think your qualifications are good if you have the interview.

Interview Questions

A time you failed

Reason for Declining

Senior Programmer at Accenture

Average Interview
Overall Positive Experience Received and Accepted Offer

Interviewed Apr 2007 in South San Francisco, CA (took 2 days)

Initial contact was made by a recruiter performing a phone screen. Phone interview with a Senior Engineer was scheduled for the following week. That person gave a recommendation for the level of position that I was a candidate for. In-person interview with another Senior Engineer was made one week later. Offer was made to me two business days after the in-person interview.

Interview Questions

Name a common design pattern adopted by software engineers and explain the situations in which it is used.
Do you know what a completely normalized database structure is and why would you ever want to not normalize the database structure?

Negotiation Details

I was able to negotiate an extra $1000 into my annual salary. With Accenture Technology Solutions, they follow a very strict pay scale for the level at which you are being offered a position. The pay range is around $10K for each level, for example, entry level Junior engineers are offered somewhere between $41K to $49999 depending on how well the interview went or the types of knowledge/experience you are bringing with you. ATS, typically pays much lower salaries than in an equivalent positions outside of consulting. Still, you should be able to negotiate a small increase from their initial offer by showing interest in the offer, but being hesitant to accept. Be cautious, many who are offered a position are willing to take a pay-cut in order to join ATS for the experience.

I Applied Online and the interview consisted of a Phone Interview and a 1:1 Interview.
