The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Accenture in Sep 2007
Interview
During the fall I was preparing cover letters and resumes for various consulting firms. I will say that I prepared tailored documents for the firms I was interested in, Accenture was not one of those. I submitted my information post campus recruitment presentation. Accenture replied immediately to my cloned application.
The initial interview with Accenture took place on campus. The interviewer was polite and asked questions regarding fit. The next interview took place a week later on site with 2 Senior Executives; I was flown out and they payed for my hotel. I would have expected no less.
Initially, I thought Accenture looked like a great place to work. The people seemed nice and very polite, however, I will admit that the quality of education and calibre of individual interviewing was not as high as the other firms I interviewed with. As such, I had some apprehensions about joining the firm.
The interviewers indicate the type of work that you would be doing but they left out a crucial element that most new hires enter Systems Integration and Technology- which is pretty horrible. They hide it because most people who end up in SI&T prefer to be in Management Consulting and International Markets (MCIM).
Be aware.

El proceso empezó bien por WhatsApp, agendamos una hora, pero la reclutadora asignada me dejó colgado sin avisar. Una semana después me llamó de improviso sin cita previa y, al no poder atenderla en ese instante, me descartaron del proceso automáticamente. Falta total de profesionalidad y respeto al tiempo del candidato en el equipo de Talent Acquisition. Siguen teniendo la posición abierta.
