      Legal Counsel Interview

      Nov 16, 2012
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Chicago, IL
      No offer
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Accenture (Chicago, IL) in Nov 2012

      Interview

      I applied online for a specific Legal Counsel position. I received an email about a week later from an internal recruiter requesting 30 minutes for a screening interview over the phone. The initial screening interview was conducted within a few days and was pretty standard, though it exceeded my expectations in a sense because the recruiter very clearly laid out several key issues: 1) the specific steps in the interview process; and, 2) the salary range. The interview process for an attorney at Accenture is apparently slightly different than for other positions, according to the recruiter. She told me there would be up to 5 interviews: the initial phone screen interview; 1 or 2 skills interviews; and, 1 or 2 confirming interview (likely to last up to 4 hours each). I passed the screening interview but did not pass the first skills interview, which was conducted over web video conference and occurred one week after the first screening interview. This interview was not the typical Accenture behavioral interview. It loosely consisted of two parts: a) get to know you/resume review; and, b) case study/issue spotter. All of the questions were fair, though the case study questions were difficult and there is no way I could have anticipated the specific questions. Overall, I thought the recruiter and the skills interviewer (hiring manager) were professional and prompt. I was disappointed not to move forward, but the hiring manager was respectful enough to tell my why, which I genuinely appreciated. My only suggestion to Accenture is to make sure the job posting matches the hiring manager's needs/expectations. In my circumstance, the primary expertise he sought for the role was not listed in the job posting. Had I known from the posting what he actually sought/required, I might not have applied for the role.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      The questioned concerned what laws/regulations from outside the U.S. applied to a given scenario, and based on those applicable laws/regulations what provisions/clauses needed to be included in a contract of a certain type.

      Average interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Accenture

      Interview

      The interview process consisted of an initial phone call followed by three interviews with different team members. The entire process was very smooth, well organized, and transparent. Communication was clear throughout each stage, and the interviewers were professional.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      One of the questions they asked me was about a situation where I identified an opportunity to improve a process. They were interested in understanding how I approach problem-solving, collaboration, and implementing improvements to make workflows more efficient.

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Accenture (São Paulo, São Paulo)

      Interview

      I had an interview experience for a legal position that raised some concerns about alignment and process. The interviewer was based in another country and the role appeared to require working under U.S. law, which had not been clearly communicated beforehand. During the interview, I was asked to defend technical answers from a prior assessment without prior notice, and while I was accessing the material from my phone, which made it difficult to properly review. The discussion became quite rigid, with limited room for constructive dialogue. Some of my answers, based on Brazilian legal principles and my professional experience, were dismissed without deeper engagement or contextual consideration. There also seemed to be a mismatch between the expectations of the role and the jurisdictional expertise required. While global collaboration is understandable, legal systems differ significantly, and this distinction did not appear to be fully acknowledged during the conversation. Overall, the experience felt more like a test under pressure than a balanced evaluation of skills and reasoning. Greater clarity on role requirements and a more open technical exchange would improve the candidate experience.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      They asked me to justify, in real time, my previous technical questionnaire answers and justify all of then, the manager was emphasizing more regarding warranty clauses in service contracts, specifically why I did not include a fixed warranty period, and to explain how this would be handled and how would I amend the clause, stating that my approach was “incorrect,” without initially clarifying that they expected the answer to be based on a common law framework. As a civil law (Brazil) lawyer, my reasoning was grounded in Brazilian legal principles, and this difference in legal systems was not clearly acknowledged during the discussion.
