There were 3 interviews in the first round with Consultants, focused on basic case work and demonstrating analytical skills. After the first round the notification for second round came a few hours later. Second round was two case interviews with Senior Executives and then a fit interview with a Senior Manager in my target practice.

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.
