They have done the same thing to me... I asked the recruiter about their LGBT pride network and she didn't know what it was.... she literally said, "Yeah, I guess that's part of our inclusion stuff."

The acc recruiters are terrible. I almost didn't take their offer because my recruiter was terrible and messed up my start date. Glad I took the offer because the rest of the firm is a lot better.

LGBT support is strong from what I know. They do a lot of events (im in the employee resource group but haven't actually gone to the events which sucks ) and the people I've met within the erg. Are great. The firm itself aslo cares (or at least tries to, and I think succeeds) about social issues a lot so no worries from that perspective. Ive meto some of the nicest people at Accenture so I think you'll be fine!

Seems like an odd choice to have the outward facing representative for a company be a contractor, especially if that's the case for campus recruiting.

like

Our campus recruiting team is all regular ACN, and I would put them up against any firm's campus team. Dinners, case competitions, internships, etc.

We use contract recruiters for experienced hires, and it's mainly due to the scale if our expansion over the past few years. It's just more cost effective.

Recruiting process at Accenture is terrible. If comparing to Deloitte experience, your recruiters have their shit together. But in the end still happy with my choice.

How does one learn about Accenture digital?

Accenture lack diversity

Yeah most of our recruiters, like many big companies, are contractors and get paid by the job getting filled so unfortunately to most of them you're just another number to meet their quota. The exception is campus recruiting who are usually full time employees with specific goals and target audiences which I think is what you're comparing your recruiter to.

Your first true impression would be with the in person interview which should be with at least one senior manager and one MD along with some analysts or consultants as greeters. They'll be the people you work with most and I'd judge the cultural fit based on that. Other than that round, all other interviews are really to designed to test you out not the other way around, unfortunately.

The Accenture recruiting team is god-awful. Super flakey and arrogant. They have a terrible reputation at my alma mater for blowing people off.

Re: ACN recruiters, we use a lot of external contract recruiters, so the first person you talk to is probably not a full time ACN employee, even if they have an ACN email address.

Doesn't make it right to behave unprofessionally, though.

I and my classmates had the same experience on campus as many have complained about in this thread. They have a terrible reputation in the last 3 years or so. Deloitte is doing much better tbh.

Hi guys, After CAF completion by last week, yesterday I received a call from the HR for the second round of evaluation. So, I attended it yesterday and performed well by answering 90-95% of the questions. Even the interviewer gave good comments on my performance. But suddenly today I received an email that my candidature isn't suitable for the role and they're keeping my profile in the database. Does this mean they'll call me if there are openings with some other project?

Is an email from hire_the_best@email.amazon.com legit? They sent a request to interview about a specific role I applied to a bit ago. Just seems fishy
