Accenture Graduate Scheme - Technology Solutions (ATS)
Interview process
First of all was the phone interview. It lasted roughly half an hour including my questions on the end. They were the typical competency based questions along the lines of 'Why do you want to work for Accenture' etc...
I was told that i would find out the results of my intervew within 5-10 days but i was actually called the morning after which was fantastic.
The face-to-face interview was scheduled for the following week in the London offices. It was a 2 hour interview which consisted of 1 hour with an HR representative and one hour with a Technical representative.
The HR interview was a development of the phone interview with more questions on my knowledge of Accenture such as: What Accenture does, What does the role entail and who are their main competitors.
The Technical interview comprised of questions that asked me to describe situations that demonstrate i have the technical skills to fit in with Accenture.
Both interviewers were very calm and made me feel so comfortable. Overall from the point of me applying online to hearing my final result was less 3 weeks!

Most difficult question
The most difficult questions were definitely for the technical interview such as: 'Describe a recent experience in which i had to use problem solving skills to solve a problem within a team task'
Interview tips
Make sure you are well equipped to answer questions about your past experince as that is key.
But also make sure you dont get caught out on small questions such as: 'Who are Accenture's main competitors?'
