I applied through an employee referral. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Accenture (New York, NY) in Jan 2015
Interview
With a total six interviews, Accenture’s interview process is rather structured. More specifically, there were: 1 HR, 1 Behavior, 2 Tech skills, and 2 In-person (NYC) interviews. Each interview was about one hour long that always started with outlining the flow of the interview. The specific questions were general in nature however, the interviewer always probed for a deeper understanding. The probes were aimed at understanding and not to throw and curve balls. It was a good and interesting experience.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
An example from the Behavior interview: When working in a matrix organization, what do you think are the biggest challenges?
An example from the Behavior interview: Tell me about a situation where you had to agree to an approach to a business problem that you didn't agree with? How did you handle that?
1 round with HR, 3 rounds of case studies (1 principal, 2 Managing directors). Themes of case studies are exactly related to the PiP type projects and situations and are sourced from direct experience of each interviewer
The interview process was professional and well organized. It started with an initial recruiter conversation to discuss my background, the role, compensation expectations, and overall fit. From there, I met with several leaders across the organization to discuss my experience with enterprise transformation, SAP delivery, program leadership, client management, and operating in complex consulting environments. The conversations were thoughtful and focused on both technical experience and leadership style.

Question 1
Tell me about a time you led a complex transformation program with multiple stakeholders and competing priorities.
Very sorry experience with unrelated questions. Interviewer was not able to put the interviewee at ease and tried to focus on what they could not bring to the table rather than what they could.
