Please describe the interview process and assessments.
The interview process was fairly drawn out
Graduate, Sydney
Nothing too challenging, as long as you know what you want to do in the company
Graduate, Sydney
The interview and assessments were good. The assessment day was much better assessment centres in other companies. It was a lot of great fun
Graduate, Canberra
Initial Application, Psychometric Assessment, Video Interview, Assessment Center, Face to Face Interview
Graduate, Sydney
There were 3 interviews. 1. Phone interview with the Recruiter. 2. video interview 3. Final interview with a MD
Graduate, Sydney
Fairly straightforward recruitment process, had approximately 3-4 rounds of assessment before I was offered a role. My only criticism would be the delay between my final interview and receiving an offer - that was about 2 months. Up until that point they had been very prompt at letting me know whether or not I had progressed to the next stage.
Graduate, Melbourne
The online testing and interviews were an appropriate way to select their employees. I believe that with the advancement of technology, people are definitely using technology at various places but i believe that human connection should still be required to make final decisions.
Graduate, Melbourne
It was smooth and to the point,
Graduate, Melbourne
Online assessment then multiple interview rounds
Graduate, Melbourne
Began with online application. Then recorded interview (I was recorded asking questions sent through one at a time). Then was video interviewed before offered the position.
Graduate, Melbourne
It was lengthy and a little nerve-wracking, but everyone I came into contact with (from the managers who interviewed me, and the recruitment people) was so nice, and really helped me through it.
Graduate, Melbourne
I had one interview after doing some online assessments. The assessments were standard and I enjoyed doing them. The interview was very relaxed and was closer to talking to a friend rather than talking to a potential employer.
Graduate, Canberra
I didn't hear from them for about 6-8 months after I put in the application. There was no rejection email. There was online testing and two interviews. One with a senior manager, and the other with a managing director.
Graduate, Sydney
Multiple face-to-face interviews and skill assessments
Graduate, Melbourne
The most organised process by far. Also the recruiter was the best I've worked with. She was organised and professional, but also incredibly understanding and flexible.
Graduate, Sydney
Very interactive, highly informative and pleasant to be in. It wasn't as stressful as some of the other companies I interview for, which allowed us interviewees a chance to really showcase our skillsets.
Graduate, Melbourne
Online personality test, multiple interviews
Graduate, Melbourne
Like most grad programs, there are a series of stages you must go through in order to get a job at Accenture. First there is an online submission of resume/cv and academic transcript, then a series of online quizzes/tests, online video interview, face-to-face HR interview and finally and interview with the Managing Director of the area they are looking to hire you into.

Graduate, Melbourne
Questions centered around career aspirations and how well I understood the company, its business and structure.
Graduate, Melbourne
What would do you think you will be doing day-to-day at Accenture? Why do you want to work for Accenture?

They were behavioural questions. I remember being asked about my experiences (describe something really hard I went through) why I wanted the job, my strengths, my weaknesses, where I wanted to be in 5 years.
Graduate, Sydney
Lots of leadership / FIT / personal experience questions
Graduate, Melbourne
There were a real range. I did multiple case study interviews as well a behavioral interviews, and then some interviews were quite casual.

Midlevel, Melbourne
Mainly behavioral and technical
Graduate, Melbourne
I was asked a lot about my interests and what I wanted to get from working at Accenture.
Graduate, Melbourne
Pretty standard questions - where do you want to be in x years, what can you do for the company etc.
Graduate, Sydney
Why do you want to work at Accenture, rather than a competing company I received a graduate offer for.
Graduate, Sydney
Do you have any specific tips and advice for candidates applying to your company? How would you recommend they best prepare?
I would recommend that they research the company core values, and focus on how they can relate their previous experience into work related scenarios.
Graduate, Sydney
Research the area you want to join and ask questions until you have a good idea of what they provide and if it aligns to your values
Graduate, Sydney
Be yourself and be honest. Do not force answers and make sure to do your background research.
Graduate, Sydney
Have a comprehensive version of a resume, to start with. because the resume reflects on your personality, achievements.
Graduate, Sydney
Research is key. Know the ins and outs of the company, particularly their values. Work out how these relate to you as an individual and why you want to work for them. Generic responses (i.e., international company) won't get you very far - be a bit unique and demonstrate that you have genuinely thought about the company and want to work for them.
Graduate, Melbourne
I would say be yourself and show everything you have done to date whether it is volunteer experience, university assignments or any type of experience.
Graduate, Melbourne
Have something interesting outside of study/work that you do as a hobby. the managers interviewing me liked to know I am able to maintain a work/life balance prior to joining Accenture
Graduate, Melbourne
Have a good understanding of Accenture: its structure, competitors, service offerings and major clients
Graduate, Melbourne
Learn about what he company does and how it does it. Looking up some media releases on work they have done in the past would give you a good idea of the kind of work they do.
Graduate, Melbourne
Do your research.
Graduate, Melbourne
Talk to your interviewer as if they were a friend, and ask questions of them too.
Graduate, Canberra
Doing your research, understanding the kind of work we do and the people we work with is important, but knowing yourself, showing self-awareness and using specific examples from your experience.
Graduate, Sydney
Understand the company you're applying to
Graduate, Melbourne
Practice case studies and know the industries of the managers who are interviewing you in the case study round. Other than that, just be yourself, because the managers are very understanding and just want to get to know you.
Graduate, Sydney
Read on the company profile, have questions prepared, and really define what your assets and skillsets are so the interviewers know and understand your strengths.
Graduate, Melbourne
Research their website well. Show that you want to be at Accenture, rather than they are one of many places you are applying
Graduate, Melbourne
Know the lay of the land. Research the latest Business and Technology trends affecting the market, and specifically that which you are looking to moving into (finance, telco etc.). Be ready for questions that aren�t related to work, they want to see if you fit the company culture. Show that you are someone who likes solving problems and who is adaptive and can learn quickly.
Midlevel, Melbourne
Read lots about the company, its projects, competitors etc.
Graduate, Melbourne
Start to build a foundation of general knowledge around new technologies.
Graduate, Melbourne
Be honest. Don't feel too intimidated. A good handshake gets you further than you think.
