I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Accenture in Apr 2021
Interview
1) Initial Application From where you had to write about 2 retailers (one good one bad) and why you love retail
2) Pop quiz (Data interpretation and problem solving)
3) 1st round - Market sizing fragrance market UK annually, a bit about yourself, and retail discussion.
First time I've spent so much time on a company to have not even spoken to a single person from within. Everything's been outsourced to a third party - who can't tell me what it's like working there/what's the culture/what's the workload and project; the retail discussion was also shallow (as a conversation between two people with no retail experiences can only be). Please remember that whilst interviewing - we're also looking for a fit with the company - how can we evaluate the company when you treat candidates like some numbers to be sifted through.

Interview
Eh, liked the first rounds varied format but really couldn't get a feel for the place or culture when in person for the final round, unsure was it a me problem or a them problem.

I applied online. I interviewed at Accenture (Melbourne) in Jul 2025
Interview
The phone screening interview was conducted by an overseas recruiter who joined 30 minutes late. The conversation felt highly scripted, impersonal, and rigid, with little acknowledgment or meaningful engagement with my responses.
Multi stage process involving an initial application, Online Task based interview first round, in-person Business Strengths Interview and final Managing Director interview online. Interviewers were friendly and I felt that they wanted me to succeed.
