I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Accenture (El Segundo, CA) in Oct 2018
Interview
*Specialist consulting role* My process consisted of four interviews - three phone interviews and one in-person interview. The first interview was with my main recruiter focused around my overall interested in Accenture and my past experience. My second interview was entirely situational/behavioral with a more experienced human resources recruiter. She asked me about challenges that I had experienced in my prior roles and client engagements. My third interview was with a Senior Manager within the practice that I was interviewing for. He asked me very specific questions regarding my past client engagement experience as well as industry specific questions for the practice that I was interviewing with. My fourth and final interview was with the a MD from the practice that I was interviewing with. She asked me about my past experience and my interest in the role. I had an opportunity to ask her questions. My recruiter was extremely communicative throughout the process. It was much more structured than any of the other consulting firms that I had interviewed with.
