I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Accenture (London, England) in Mar 2010
Interview
Originally started with a phone interview. During this interview I was asked to provide examples throughout my time at University, or outside of university where I have demonstrated skills that they look for. Examples of these skills include where one has taken a leadership role, when one has worked in a team, when one has managed to deal with large amounts of pressure or things going wrong, when one has had to take the initiative themselves and choose their own direction.
After getting through this phone interview, the next stage was to go in for two personal interviews. One with a technical manager in the technology solutions department, and another with a person from Human Resources.
The technical interview went over my understanding of technical issues such as the development lifecycle, my understanding of certain technologies, but focused mainly on concepts that could be applied, or built upon where I to join them.
The HR interview was very similar to the phone interview, but in this case done face to face rather than over the phone.
