You have access to pitch book? Accenture should have a general license

To answer your question, yes I think it’s normal. Some companies do, some don’t. You can ask targeted questions about revenue, profitability, and growth plans to figure out if its sustainable

Yes, it's normal. They don't want you to know how laughably small your equity is. Generally, startup employees take all the risk with almost none of the reward. Google is your friend here.

Be persistent. Tell them you want to make the most educated decision you can so you’re sure it’s the right fit. Let them know you’re strongly favoring the position, but this is an important part of that decision as you have more than one option (even if the other option is just staying at ACN)

If you have other contacts at the company, try to estimate the value with them

C1, the other employees might have done a better job of triangulating than OP

Hello ,I had my first round of technical interview at Siemens last Friday.The status is still showing as " Process " ..so what does that indicate? Is there a chance to get selected?

I work in a fairly specialized industry and have had difficulty finding a role to get out of my current gig that works me 70-80 hrs /wk. I had two offers that both offer title and pay bump. An ok big 4 offer and another firm that I was honestly more interested in for a few reasons. In any case the recruiter and I negotiated my offer and the letter was making the rounds for approval. It ended up not getting approved because it was above their budget (~10k). Essentially they are unable to offer..
