Is it a fair question to ask during your interviews who are that firm’s largest accounts? Can’t tell if I’m asking them a question they can’t answer.

At Deloitte if the person is knowledgeable enough they would know the answer, since we have a special designation for our top strategic accounts, but I would bet most people wouldn’t be able to rattle off a ranked list.

I don’t think it’s strictly prohibited to mention any client names—there are certainly some client “case study” articles on our website etc., but then again Deloitte is such a big place, it’s absolutely no guarantee that you would end up working with those clients, even over a long period of time.

Each firm might have a different policy and area—for example I work in M&A and would not be able to talk about many current projects/clients especially if it is pre-deal announcement. You could always ask the question starting with something like “Is it OK to ask...” and I wouldn’t think you’d offend anyone.

Thanks so much! I’ll definitely preface the question with “is it OK to ask...” and have a back up question ready

I would absolutely not ask this... accounts are confidential, at least at PwC. Given, we do work with basically all the F500 so almost all large companies are a client, but information on who is the largest is “strategic” as SM1 even said and hence not the type of thing we’d tell to applicants.

I do think there’s some harm in asking as confidentiality is the industry norm, so asking could be perceived as one being ill informed. Just my two cents.

Hi all,
I had my technical round scheduled with Capgemini last week. This week I cleared the L1 interview round and HR discussion. Before releasing the offer letter they asked me to submit my documents and sent a link to appear for an AMCAT exam (English grammer and email writting) as part of hiring process . My question is based on AMCAT score is there a possibility that Capgemini would revoke my offer ? Is it an elimination round as they mentioned this a part of Capgemini hiring process?
