I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4+ months. I interviewed at Accenture
Interview
Unfortunately, a horrible process and experience. I was contacted on May 12 of this year by an Accenture recruiter regarding this position. After my initial phone screen with him he passed me on to the next Accenture recruiter. The 2nd one passed me to a 3rd Accenture recruiter. After speaking with 3 Accenture recruiters, I finally had an interview with a Senior Manager. The feedback I received was "excellent" and I need to speak to the Hiring Manager "ASAP". After 7 weeks I spoke with the Hiring Manager, who then recommended I speak with another Senior Manager. That interview came a month later. All along my recruiter told me feedback was positive and good and we were continuing to move along the process. So, to summarize, I passed 6 interviews over a 4 month period to finally be told in an email, “We are currently holding on the SA role as new Fiscal Year budgets are being released “. This came 3½ weeks after my last interview. Since then I’ve sent 2 emails back to the recruiter with follow up questions and I’ve yet to get a response. Email correspondence with my recruiter was about 7-10 days between responses.
Very disappointed in Accenture and their hiring process. With this approach, meeting their goal of adding 15,000 employees in the U.S. will be a challenge, if not an impossibility. I would have expected at least a phone call and perhaps a conversation about other available positions that match my skill set.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Describe the process I've used as a consultant in managing the solution development process between the client and service provider.
It was straight forward. First talent acquisition, then two VPs interview me separately due to availability. The talent acquisition asked simple questions. However, the VPs were very specific to solutions, what would I do, and what I have done regarding past experiences.
Las tres primeras entrevistas muy positivas y seguidas entre sí. La última se demoró más de un mes en confirmarme la oferta. Me permitieron entrevistarme directamente con el equipo, fue muy positivo.
they were confused between actual cloud (private on how switches and all are to be understood) vs what a CSP is (eg aws,azure... etc). Overall it was nice but they were confused
