I applied online. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Accenture (London, England) in Jan 2020
Interview
Recruitment process is extremely pleasant and straight forward. After applying you complete an immersive online assessment that includes scenario based questions and analytical questions. I then attended the assessment centre which consisted of a group exercise (can not prepare - given a scenario on the day), VR assessment (really fun! Again can not prepare just remain calm and try your best), strengths based interview (really good interview technique - makes you feel like you can highlight your natural strengths) and a pre-prepared discussion (you can have notes). The assessment centre was a great experience and you get to know the company’s culture and people. All assessors are really friendly and genuinely want you to succeed. There were 8 people on my assessment centre and it lasted approx 3 hours.
11 business days after the AC I was called and offered a place on the programme. As it is extremely competitive and a busy period the recruitment team aim to give you a response between 10-15 business days.
I highly recommend applying as the process is really enjoyable compared to other company’s.

Interview
Eh, liked the first rounds varied format but really couldn't get a feel for the place or culture when in person for the final round, unsure was it a me problem or a them problem.

Question 1
What is one interesting thing you have learned in the past few weeks.
I applied online. I interviewed at Accenture (Melbourne) in Jul 2025
Interview
The phone screening interview was conducted by an overseas recruiter who joined 30 minutes late. The conversation felt highly scripted, impersonal, and rigid, with little acknowledgment or meaningful engagement with my responses.
Multi stage process involving an initial application, Online Task based interview first round, in-person Business Strengths Interview and final Managing Director interview online. Interviewers were friendly and I felt that they wanted me to succeed.
