My experience is similar to that noted by others on Glassdoor - disorganized, unprofessional, and frankly, a waste of time. Again, like others, the recruiter completely missed the first called scheduled with me and was late for the rescheduled call. I had to follow-up multiple times to push the process forward as the recruiter kept forgetting to follow-up on her own. I was finally scheduled for an on-site interview (a week before the apprenticeship was supposed to begin) and did not hear back until a month later and several emails (although I was told that I'd hear a decision within a week). I was shocked that the interview process was extended to so close to the supposed start-date of the apprenticeship - did they expect people to up and move their lives in a week? - but also by how disorganized the recruiter was throughout the entire process. In the end, I wondered if the apprenticeship program even ran as planned or was delayed as a result of poor planning and coordination.

The application process consists of 1) phone screen with a recruiter; 2) phone screen with a senior designer; 3) on-site interview with 4 designers in the team. I applied through Accenture career site. The recruiter A reach out to me a week later to schedule a phone screen, I send her my schedule and waited for another week. Then recruiter B reach out after one month saying that they were very busy and blamed me for not following up. I was finally able to schedule a phone screen, with recruiter C after another week. The first phone screen was pretty straightforward, with some behavioral questions. One week later, I was able to get the second phone screening with a senior designer. However, the interviewer completely forgot the scheduled time and I had to reach out to him directly to re-arrange another phone screen. I walked through my portfolio and was asked with some questions regarding my design process etc. I was finally able to get the on-site interview in the next week. The on-site interview lasted for 2.5 hrs and I met with 4 designers, and they don't seem much interested in my projects. Overall I had a similar experience to that written by others on Glassdoor: extremely unprofessional and disorganized. The recruiters often send emails during the night and sometimes do not even reply to my email.
