I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Accenture (Farmington, CT) in Apr 2013
Interview
I applied through my school's recruiting site. I had an initial phone interview with a human resources person. She was very positive on the phone and I was sure I was going to hear back from them. Several weeks went by before they called back for an in-person interview. I found out it was because someone had backed out of an offer. I went to the in person interview with one person who was to be my manager. He got a another person in Missouri on the phone and we had the interview. I knew it went well, and later that day a job was offered. I declined the offer because I had a competing job offer on the table which was offering twice the money and a nicer office location.
