I applied online. I interviewed at Accenture (Londres, Inglaterra) in Jun 2025
Interview
Three separate sessions.
The first session was a Teams call with the HR recruiter who explained the interview format and structure, also explained about the culture and structure of the firm.
The second session was an interview with the Senior Manager. Typical STAR format questions.
The third and last session was an interview with the Partner. No STAR questions. General questions about my background and my preference for the role.
Got rejected after the third session under the grounds of me not having a financial services sector background. This question should have been asked at the first session itself. There was no clear mention of this requirement at the job description.

Do you have experience in financial services sector?
Processo abbastanza normale, un primo contatto telefonico seguito da un colloquio con il manager, dopo un paio di settimane senza risposta è stato necessario un follow up per sapere se avessi passato o meno lo step, successivamente c'è stato lo step finale con il partner

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.
