Hello all, can someone explain what's going on.. Looks like a scam to me..after getting shortlisted for interview and confirming the time slot..few hours before I am receiving a email stating either interview is completed or not selected or cancelled even before the interview takes place.. Happened with Accenture, Infosys, capgemini.. Is this some sort of new way to cover up and showcase that they have conducted so many interviews or just my bad timing..

Though not suffered directly, but yes, I have seen plenty of such posts in different bowls in the past 1 week, majority of them mentioning Accenture. Something to be highlighted.

Looking at all the above responses I somehow feel they are hiring a candidate of their choice who is referred by their internal connections directly and to cover up that they are creating these fake interviews and rejections to show that the job was filled up after interviewing X no. of candidates and a fair hiring process.. But something is seriously wrong I alone faced it for 3 companies and coming to know that so many of us are experiencing the same is really shocking..

I faced the same experience with BlackRock. After final round of interview till date nobody connected back.

Happened with Capgemini for me....

It's more due to the consultants hired by Accenture to schedule the interviews. Don't know who they are, but they are just unprofessional. Interviewers at Accenture are also dealing with their tantrums.. They simply align a candidate with interviewer from totally different service line, and when interviewer tell them to re-align someone appropriate, they would just reject the candidate on basis of skill mismatch and never communicate it to them..!

This is the case with the banks as well. The same happened with me and Citi Bank. Salary negotiations were done, they explained me the salary breakup verbally and gave the confirmation and they kept me hanging for almost one and a half month for the offer letter on the name of software issues or internal approvals. Then finally I got elsewhere.

Yes happened with Capgemini..
Before the interview timing I got the mail that I am not selected...

Omg! Are they doing something similar after releasing the offer too? I have an offer from accenture and i might resign from my current firm next week. Should I rethink? Could they revoke the offer?

Accenture is very famous for this practice!! They will even send you mailers stating that we tried contacting you but you were not reachable ,please update your contact details.. and despite sending them contact number again.. they will decline the candidature saying we were not able to reach.. this is a very big scam from Accenture.!!

Same experience happened with two of my buddies interviewing for Accenture...

I think Accenture is the biggest culprit.... I am seeing max posts about them... Rest of them are following accentures trend....

Similar situation in Capgemini.... I had technical scheduled twice and then nobody joined.
3rd time I waited for 1 full hour.... And the interviewer joined right at the stroke of slot ending. If I had disconnected before... They would hv probably written... Candidate not joined. 🤦

Same for me as well at Accenture and Infosys, Accenture ghosted me after the salary negotiation and background check, Infosys just took my interview, went ahead with the salary negotiation and two days later told me that the opening is filled.

I would say do look for other offers as well apart from Accenture just incase things don’t go as desired in the final days.

During interviews, how do you talk about the “result” or “impact” of a consulting project you were on? I know how to talk about the problem/recommendation portion of a sample project but the result/impact, I mean, as consultants we don’t see recommendations executed and actually generating results. So how do you talk about it?
