I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Accenture (London, England) in Mar 2011
Interview
I had a phone interview first, It seemed they wanted to test my knowledge of the company they, i.e. who was their competition, what services they offered and industries they operated in and so forth. it was quick question and answers lasted around 25minutes.
After 1week i found out i passed and we arranged a face to face interview with a manager at the old bailey office. The interview was meant to last an hour but we got through all the questions farly quick and it was over in less than 30 mins i thought i failed because we finish i half the expected time but i found out later it wasn't the case.
The f2f was more technical questions about java and sql. It was mostly theoretical, like what is java encapsulation, the architecture of the java language, JVM, about java code compilation etc then to object oriented development to design patterns to agile development. From there to SQL query statements how to select certain information for tables, so writing sql querys to select the required data.
After the intreview i heard back after 10 days with an offer.....

Question 1
I had a list off things they expected of me, a guide they offered on topics which i research very well so i didnt have any unexpected questions, phone interview need to know about the company really well ...
It was very structured. It consisted of 1 round. The interviewer asked me to introduce myself and then asked questions on my resume. They are basically looking for candidates to walk through their resume. They didn't ask any question apart from the resume
The process was 1 online assessment and 1 group interview with 3 panelists. They asked both technical and soft skills questions. Each interviewer asked different questions. The total interview was less than 30 mins.
Interview was nice but it was much technical heavy and the interviewer had asked both the technical and HR related questions and also some general knowledge and current affairs questions.
