Accenture Client Financial Management Analyst interview questions

spoke with a recruiter by phone about my resume, my experience, and the position as a CFM. I was then referred to the next steps of the interview process which was a situational phone interview and an in-person interview at the Reston office. The in-person interviews were scheduled first. I met with 5 Accenture employees-an analyst, a specialist, 2 managers, and a senior manager. Each interviewer asked about my knowledge about the company and what I know about the position as a CFM. I was also asked basic interview questions. The situational phone interview unfortunately was my downfall. I thought I did my best in answering the questions but the Accenture employee didn't like my answers even though I reiterated the same answers with the in-person interviewers. Advice: be very specific and supplement your answer with an example/experience.

I was contacted by Accenture via e-mail to interview or have a basic phone screen. This took about 30 minutes. It was basically a backround screen to see if you were a good fit for the position. Asking things like how did you hear about the position, why did you apply, what makes you a good fit, etc. My next interview was a phone interview where I had to call in and wait to speak to my interviewer. She basically asked me 4 questions. Pretty typical questions from what I can remember. Name a time when you've faced adversity and how you've overcome it. They were 4 questions and it took about 35 to 45 minutes. The interviewer was very polite and easy to talk to. My next interview was on site in DC. I interviewed with 4 people during this process. The first person was a person my age (about 1 or 2 years out of undergrad) basically going over my resume and informing about the details of the position I've applied for. I asked him a few questions and he asked me a couple as well. Nothing difficult. My second interview was with two women who had a series of specific questions to ask me. Things specific to the job I was interviewing for "Give me an example of a time when you've worked on a budget." There were 4 or 5 of these questions with follow ups. This was a little more difficult than nomral, but still not exceedingly comfortable. Also, they asked me what I knew about the position. This was a recurring theme throughout each of the interviews I had on site. Every interview they would ask what I knew about the position and write down what I said. The third interview was with a guy that was a manager of some sort. He came in and completely dissected my resume going over everything I had on there point by point. Believe me when I say you have to know everything in detail that you have on your resume. He was also a little rude and cold and not very engaging. This one took the most time and was pretty draining. The last was with another higher up and she basically went over what the position entailed and what interested me about it. Asked me about my strengths & weaknesses and asked me about what I knew about the position.
