Perfekter Prozess // Beginnend mit der HR Kollegen bis hin zum finalen Gespräch mit dem Managing Director Das final Meeting fand auf einem anspruchsvollen aber respektvollem Niveau statt. Ich hatte wirklich das Gefühl, dass Accenture sich für mich interessiert und auch meine Meinung wertschätzt.

The process started in Dec'17 but due to holidays stretched to early Feb'18. 4 rounds in total. 1st HR phone screen, then skills interview with a Senior Manager, then a behavioural interview by a lady in US and final interview with Managing Director of the consulting vertical. The process took about 6 weeks. The managing director informed me that it might take further 2-3 weeks before the offer is made as they had to create a "billable resource profile" for me. HR informed me that I have been successful and that he is getting some approvals. In one of the calls, he discussed the remuneration and joining date for mid-April and asked me to send my passport and visa details for VEVO check. After several more follow-ups, I was informed that the team is getting aligned with global workforce (i.e. internal restructuring) and the position is on hold till mid-April so that they can set up the cost centres etc. Mid-April, I received the call from HR informing me that the system set up is now complete and should be able to get things moving within next 2-4 days and that he still need to get some approvals, though he gave me an indicative joining date for mid-May. However, its now close to 2 weeks and no response from HR. Overall experience of the interview process was very good. Each part of the process serves a unique purpose like: - HR round: Initial screening to check whether you have the right experience and skills for the role. - Skills Interview: To check your problem solving skills (I was given 2 case studies / scenarios) - Behavioural interview: To check whether you have the right mindset to be part of Accenture. The interview was quite gruelling and detailed. But after the one-hour interview, I chatted for further 1/2 hour more with the interview lady on range of topics from spirituality, Hollywood, Oscars, Australia, Trump..... :) - Final interview: This to me is most important interview and IMO this one is about checking whether you can be a thought leader. Questions are generally about industry trends and what I think about them. Glad I read some insightful articles about the business vertical before the interview.
