Hey, I am in the same boat but different career path of course. Can't really comment on CD&O as it is not familiar to me. Do note that reviews you read on third party platforms/word of mouth may be biased in the sense that people who have opposite views may not necessarily speak out about their positive experiences in CD&O. You might only be exposed to one side of the spectrum. Hope you take those reviews with a grain of salt, best to clarify your doubts with the recruiter/management when you actually get the chance to attend physical interviews or speak to them personally.

I applied, passed the pymetrics assessment, and finally submitted my video interview (Hirevue) last Saturday.

If you are a freshie, don't worry about anything technical. The interview I had was completely behavioural based, like how you handle team work, your achievements etc..

Still waiting for their response  smile.gif

All the best with the rest of your job application journey! Are you applying for a fresh graduate role as well?

Seems like my application process is not the norm since I had to go through pymetrics and two face-to-face interviews (with a senior consultant and then a senior manager) before I was asked to do the video behavioral interview.

Wow! Haha I didn't know the process could be so different. The chances seem to be in your favour though thumbup.gif 

Yes I am applying for a fresh grad role in data analytics.

How did your face-to-face interviews go? I am assuming you interviewed at one of their overseas offices or perhaps through Skype? How is their response time? Do they get back to you fairly quickly (less than a week, 2 weeks, etc.)?

Oops I failed to mention that I was fortunate enough to get the job doh.gif

The position I applied for was the Graduate Analyst role and because of my background, I was sorted into Management Consulting without any input on my part haha My face-to-face interviews were done in KL, which I assumed were locations that were convenient to the interviewer.

As for response times, it varied but typically it was at least a week between each stage. It was about a two-week wait between my first and second interview. I actually applied late November in 2017 and only got the job two weeks ago. But, as these big firms go, your mileage may vary.

Data Analytics huh? Did not know there was such a position! I hope you hear good news soon!

Hey eddydo, sorry for the late response I haven't been on LYN for quite some time.

This is my process so far (applying from Sydney Australia for KL position):
1. Submitted online application through careers portal;

2. Pymetrics testing (20 Feb 2018);

3. Video interview invite #1 (I didn't do it because of hectic uni schedule, 21 Feb 2018);

4. Video interview invite #2 (I did it after 1/2 weeks of receiving the second email, 10 Mar 2018);

5. After more than 3 weeks of no-response, I submitted an enquiry (4 April 2018) through the official US website (https://www.accenture.com/us-en/contact-us). Note here that my first attempt was to email the HR directly but I received an automated reply "The email address you have used goes to an account which is not monitored", hence I went to the aforementioned website to submit an official enquiry. Even though the website is for USA, the form allows you to choose the country/branch.

6. Received an email from HR in Accenture Malaysia the very next day (5 April 2018) asking me to explain why I wanted to return to KL and my expected graduation date.

7. Received an email from HR today (20 April 2018) to schedule for a Skype Interview with a manager on 23 April 2018.
My advice to you is to contact them through the portal https://www.accenture.com/us-en/contact-us under "Job Seekers" to explain your circumstances. Hopefully they'll give you another shot at the video interview.

Cheers.
