I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Accenture in Jul 2010
Interview
Recruiters were very helpful and very responsive. The interview process was very quick compared to prior experiences. The interviews were a LOT tougher than I thought they would be. They asked clarifying questions about everything, and there were various formats of questions throughout the interview (role-play, describe a time, why did you do this, etc).
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Describe a time when you had to deal with a difficult personality. What did you do to resolve it?
I applied through a staffing agency. I interviewed at Accenture (Tokyo)
Interview
I passed the online test and was got called for an interview with a manager. He said he did not read my CV beforehand, and he thought my profile align with another team better. He gave me a case anyway, and told me to continue interview with another team. I felt it was a red flag that their recruiter sent my CV to a team who found my experience less relevant, and I had to do a first round of interview for no reasons, so I declined the second interview.
Easy with description of existing process. case study was difficult; however, we could be done with a bit of practice. Salary negotiations are important. AI related stuff asked, be comfortable with that.
Went through two interviews, successfully passed, and right before the third interview was told that I cant move forward because they filled the postion internally. So what was the point?!?! - I have no idea
