Pretty straight process overall. Started with a recruiter screening asking basic questions and salary expectations. Proceeded to hiring manager and a series on interview panels with a few executives and members of the team. Thereafter, received an offer.
Be prepared to be put on the spot with undisclosed practical exercises. Experience was not professional and felt that I was a pawn to internal politics and desires going through several rounds. To their credit, the recruiter apologized and agreed with the sentiment shared above.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Accenture (Singapore) in Aug 2022
Interview
Pretty poor. The hiring manager had a very narrow view on design and did not have a clear job description to talk through. Considering, Accenture are meant to be a design and innovation team, his awareness of design outside of Figma screens or Adobe Illustrator visuals seemed to be pretty low - He had no interest in design thinking or lateral design skills or even design being managed. Initially it was meant to be a quick introduction chat for 20 mins to understand the roles coming up, then he changed his min on the spot and asked to go through my portfolio instead. He pretty much decided he was not interested in the first 2 mins - Very judgmental, limited mindset and very bad organization of the meeting.
