I applied through college or university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Accenture (Saint Louis, MO) in Nov 2016
Interview
I applied via my university's career website then again on the company page. I was contacted a few weeks later that I was selected for a first-round on campus interviewer. There were only 10 of us selected for the first round behavioral interview. It was a very conversational interview with a couple questions asked about my resume/work experience, times I have worked on a team, etc., and then a long conversation about any questions I had about Accenture. A week later I was emailed about being selected for the final round -- a behavioral and case interview back-to-back. The behavioral was again very conversational with about three background/personality questions and the case followed. The case was strictly qualitative and the interviewer was not particularly helpful/conversational which left me to speak for the better part of 30-45 minutes about my analysis and findings.

The initial stage of the hiring process is a concise 10-15 minute phone screen. This call is strictly dedicated to assessing the candidate's eligibility based on foundational criteria and evaluating their past behaviour and experience through structured questions. These questions are exclusively framed using the STAR method (Situation, Task, Action, Result) to elicit specific, tangible examples of how the candidate has handled professional challenges and responsibilities. However, despite the brevity and structured nature of this initial screening, the follow-up process is marked by a significant lack of communication. Candidates who complete this phone screen are typically left without any updates, as the company consistently ceases contact—a phenomenon commonly referred to as "ghosting"—for a minimum period of two weeks following the call.
