The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Accenture (Chicago, IL) in Dec 2009
Interview
The interview consisted of a case interview along with a fit interview. The fit interview was good, but the case that was given was ridiculously esoteric. It seemed like the guy just made the case up on the spot, and it was presented poorly. If there had been 2 case interviews, or if the guy had stuck to something a little more traditional, it would have been better to assess the competency of individuals.
Very long recruiting process with 3 different stages, screening > manager > senior manager. There is a Business Case in the second interview. The BC is half an hour and is a MBB style BC
Screener conducted for an open role, but then the role was paused, not sure of the need, unclear result. Recruiter was nice enough, but unclear of the need. Stayed in touch for a few months and ultimately closed the lead.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Explain your knowledge and forecast for the retail industry.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Accenture
Interview
The recruiters are notoriously tough to get into contact with. My first scheduled interview, the recruiter did not show up. I then had an interview that I thought went excellent but head silence for 2+ weeks until the recruiter ultimately told me they were no longer searching for the position in a mass email. Although my experience has a negative outcome, I'd heard from connections that recruiters are often not very responsive and they had been surprised to still be in the running after not hearing from recruiters for weeks.
