Abnormal Security Software Engineer interview: AI-assisted work in a large codebase
After a recruiter call, I met the hiring manager. They explained the company and likely day-to-day work, then asked about my background, why I was changing roles, and how I used AI in everyday work. About a week later, I had an AI-assisted technical screen. I received a large codebase and a feature requirement, and was expected to understand the existing structure with AI help, implement the feat…

Accenture Consultant interview: cases, routing, and SAP FICO
One path moved quickly through three interviews: two case-focused rounds and a less formal fit conversation with someone from a prospecting team. It was easy to follow and did not feel overly formal. In a different experience, I was told the first interviewer had not reviewed my CV and thought I might fit another team better. They still gave me a case, but the way my application was being routed…

Accenture Consultant interview: compensation stop and SAP scenarios
An initial recruiter call ended as soon as I shared my salary expectations. It felt like the technical fit stopped mattering once that number did not match another offer I had received. On later SAP-focused paths, I worked through practical SAP FICO scenarios, including group reporting, central finance, and case studies where I explained my technical approach. Another SAP track went deeper on SAP…

Accenture Consultant Interview Experience: Half-day assessment centre
After speaking with the recruiter, the process felt pleasantly well run. They were helpful, explained what the role and team expected, and helped me frame my experience around the opportunity. The journey included an online application and online assessment. The last major step was a half-day assessment centre with skills, competency, and experience exercises. It was a lot, but the structure cons…

Accenture Consultant interview: missed recruiter appointments and automatic removal
I expected proper communication, but the process fell apart. I had multiple stages, long waits, and never received the feedback I specifically requested. That left a sour taste, but it was not the only problem. At one point, I had an appointment and coordinated through messages, but the assigned recruiter did not show up or warn me. A week later, they contacted me abruptly without appointment det…

Accenture España Consultant Interview Experience: assessment, group case, and final interview
The selection process had several distinct stages: an individual assessment, a group discussion, a first round case interview, and a final interview. The group discussion was a consulting exercise, and the discussion itself was part of the evaluation. During that session, a staff member introduced a consulting case study and I worked through it in the group conversation. Later I had to present th…

Accenture España Consultant interview: practical SAP FICO work
I went through a technical, SAP-focused process. The interviewer went into SAP FICO topics such as group reporting and central finance, and the discussion required real problem solving instead of staying theoretical. Case studies asked me to analyze a situation and explain it technically. Business-process knowledge also mattered. I was asked about the Order-to-Cash cycle: sales-order processing,…

Accenture España Consultant interview: salary expectations stopped the process
The recruiter call went fine at first and the process seemed to be moving. It stopped immediately after I shared my salary expectations. The recruiter did not negotiate or explore a range. It felt as though the compensation gap alone ruled me out. Given my background in new technology, the figure they had in mind was less than half of what I had been offered in parallel processes. That made the d…

Accenture España Consultant interview with supplier-selection case study
I started with an HR interview that immediately included a case study about choosing a supplier company for a client. There were three options: one high-priced firm with junior talent, another high-priced firm with senior talent, and a third option in the middle. The case felt like a real consulting judgment call rather than a simple technical problem. It was difficult because there was no obviou…

Accenture España Full Stack Engineer interview: changed salary and work arrangement
A recruiter first discussed the role, salary range, and an expected home-office arrangement because I lived far from the office. I then interviewed with a manager, and another recruiter later told me I had been approved. After approval, the terms changed. The salary was lower than originally discussed, and home office became hybrid. I was told after internal alignment that the original conditions…

Accenture España Software Engineer interview: a month of scheduling and silence
The interviews were not my biggest issue. I was left hanging afterward. Scheduling dragged on, and I had to keep booking slots almost every week for nearly a month before anything was set. After I finished the interview, HR did not give me a meaningful response. My emails went unanswered, and nobody picked up my phone calls. Even after I completed rounds and document verification, I still had no…

Accenture España Software Engineer interview experience: a mismatched final assessment
The process started normally. The technical interview covered core JavaScript and React, including hooks, reconciliation, HOCs, performance patterns, and some architecture discussion. Then I had a managerial-style round about past projects and how I would fit on a team. After clearing both interviews, I received an online assessment covering React, React Native, and Angular. The role was clearly…

Accenture España Software Engineer Interview Experience: DSA basics, OOP, DBMS, and communication testing
The experience felt straightforward and lower-pressure than I expected. After the early screening steps, the rounds focused on project discussion and basics such as data structures and algorithms, OOP, and DBMS. The interviewer was polite, spoke slowly and clearly, and asked questions that matched the skills on my resume. One part used a larger assessment setup with cognitive-style tasks and tech…

Accenture España Software Engineer Interview Experience: DSA, cognitive MCQ, and AI communication assessment
I started with resume screening and then moved through technical steps with clear expectations. The technical rounds included basic DSA coding and fundamentals discussion. The process felt professional, and the interviewers were easy to understand because they stated expectations plainly. Later assessments covered coding and communication. I took a timed cognitive-style MCQ test and a smaller cod…

Accenture España Software Engineer interview: unconfirmed invitations and tracking confusion
The process was more memorable for its confusion than its technical questions. Evaluation problems felt unclear and unnecessary, and invitations arrived without seeming to lead to anything concrete. I spent a lot of time waiting and checking what was happening. At one point, an assessment and interview were scheduled, but I never received confirmation or an update that made me confident the inter…

Accenture España Software Engineer interview with Databricks AutoLoader
My interview centered on Databricks and PySpark. I started with an online assessment containing Databricks MCQs and a PySpark coding question. The virtual interview then covered Databricks specifics, including AutoLoader, followed by another PySpark problem. The final in-office interview went further into product-style concepts. I discussed my data-processing experience and answered questions on…

Accenture España Software Engineer interview with Java and Redis
I had two main rounds and found the process technical and tougher than average. The first was an assessment with two coding questions. The second was a deeper technical interview covering Java, microservices, Redis, DSA-style coding, and Java Streams. The interviewers seemed serious about evaluating actual problem solving. It felt challenging because I had to work through details, rather than bec…

Accenture España Software Engineer interview with programming and SQL test
After applying, I entered a friendly, structured process. The early conversation covered me and my background, including volunteer work and an internship, my programming languages and tools, how the company is organized, and its benefits. I then completed an online test in my own time. It covered basic programming, object-oriented programming, SQL fundamentals, and logical reasoning rather than p…

Accenture España Software Engineer interview with unanswered follow-up after assessment
I went through several stages, and the interviews themselves did not feel like the main problem. The communication afterward did. After completing the assessment and technical interview, I received no real follow-up or next steps. Eventually, my application status changed to "No Longer Under Consideration," and I got an email saying the position was closed, without a clear explanation of why. Tha…

Accenture España Software Engineer Python frameworks and multiple coding exercises
I expected a mix of discussion and hands-on evaluation, and that was what I got. I first discussed my project experience, then moved into technical questions about Python and related frameworks and concepts. We covered Django, FastAPI, Pandas, object-oriented programming, and APIs. The coding portion involved multiple Python exercises designed to test problem solving. The pace made me slow down a…

Accenture Federal Services Software Engineer interview: canceled after scheduling
After applying, I successfully scheduled an interview and expected a normal start. Right after confirmation, the company abruptly canceled it without an explanation or an offer to reschedule. No interview rounds or technical or behavioral evaluation took place. I did not get an offer, and the unmanaged cancellation was the main thing I took from the experience. It felt like a wasted step rather t…

Accenture in India Full Stack Engineer interview: changed salary and work model
About a month after I applied through the company site, a recruiter called to discuss the role and salary range. Because I lived far from the office, I was told the plan would be home office. I then interviewed with a manager and soon heard from another recruiter that I had been approved. The terms changed after that. I was offered a lower salary than the one first communicated, and home office b…

Accenture in India Full Stack Engineer Interview: Three phone interview rounds
My process had three rounds, mostly by phone. It began with a recruiter screen lasting about 30 to 45 minutes. Next came a technical conversation with someone from a developer background, also about 30 to 45 minutes. The final round was behavioral and used the same call format. The pacing felt consistent: each call was focused and did not drag. The recruiter screen covered my background, while th…

Accenture in India Software Engineer Interview: A group interview with five students
My process was straightforward. It started with a group round of five students, where the questions were basic and mostly behavioral. There was little technical probing, and it felt easier than I had expected. Because it was a group format and stayed on fundamental and behavioral questions, it did not feel like an interview that required deep specialization. The experience was low stress, and all…
