Interviewed Nov 2009 in Singapore (Singapore) (took 6 weeks)
Accenture have a strong interview process that includes a series of interviews with different levels within both the industry (eg. Financial Services, Oil and Gas, Telecoms...) specific to the role and function within the role (eg. Strategy Consulting). This method allows different perspectives of the interviewees talents from a growth, capability and delivery stand point.
The case interview is where most candidates stumble.... This is only really relevant for Management Consulting roles but was used throughout the company as a way to assess how a candidate thinks about certain business issues and how structured the answer is.
All round great interview process.... Long but structured......

Not much scope for negotiation with Accenture. This is not a bad thing as all employees sit within the same parameters.

Interviewed Sep 2010 in Singapore (Singapore) (took 2 weeks)
Initial was called up by their HR manager to verify certain details about my resume that was uploaded to their website. A phone interview was then arranged because i applied for a full time position with them while i was studying overseas. Went through the next 2 phone interviews with a senior manager (Conversational interview), then with a HR manager (Behavioral). The last interview was a video interview with an associate partner of the firm, mostly conversational once more.

Interviewed Jan 2010 in Singapore (Singapore) (took 5 months)
Interview process was long, with interviewers making many changes to the interview schedule. Later I found out that the reason for this is because the practice that I was hired into had too many projects and the interviewers were stretched.

Interviewed Jul 2009 in Singapore (Singapore) (took 2 days)
This was an interview for an internship, so it was probably more informal. I had 2 rounds of interviews. The first with a current consultant, and the second with a manager in the department. The first screening interview was one to one, while the second interview included another consultant whom I was to work with. I cleared the interview, but had to wait for a month before they found a project for me to join.

Interviewed Mar 2010 in Singapore (Singapore) (took 3 days)
I had two interviews with the firm - the first one with a senior consultant and the second with a Manager. Both lasted about 40 mins to an hour although they were scheduled for 30 mins. 10-15 mins going through the resume, generic questions on why I was applying for the role, what my background was and why I was interested in the role. And then we spent 30-40 mins on a case.
Case 1 - A large assorted snack food company is losing market share and revenue has been declinging but profit as a % of growth has been increasing. What would you advise the CEO. Upon asking questions I was told that the firm is a major player, it and the other bigger player have 55% of the market which is growing. Conversation then moved to figuring out costs and looking at variable costs - labour and marketing costs being what had changed, bottom line was product placement for the firm was an issue - so the firm should have invested more money in training it's sales staff and giving them the resources to negotiate with vendors and get larger profit margins.
Case 2 - A big retail company's CEO wants to acquire a petrol chain so that he can offer discounted petrol along with grocery purchases. Should he acquire the firm?
Gave me the following lead ins. The grocer is the 2nd largest in the country, no other chain does this yet in their country but it is a common practise in Europe. Also there's been a news leak that the other big player is thinking of offering a similar service. Our conversation started with me asking if acquiring was the only option but was told yes and later in the feedback I was told I should have looked at other options like a JV or a partnership as opposed to acquiring, which was strange. Discussions centered around - evaluating what the benefits of acquistion would be - larger reach, first mover advantage, crossl sell opportunities, loyalty building, increase market share and market size, core capabilities etc.

Interviewed Jan 2010 in Singapore (Singapore) (took 2 days)
The first interview was a resume interview, where they scrutinised your resume and we talked about the items. The second interview was a scenario-based one, where I was asked to specify the situation, my thoughts and what I did. E.g., Talk about a situation where you disagreed with a boss and what you did, talk about a situation where you experienced difficulty.
