Accenture in India Software Engineer interview: assessment, communication, and HR
After a recruiter interaction, I went through three Accenture in India phases. The online assessment covered basic reasoning and aptitude, computer-science fundamentals, and coding. The coding included HTML/CSS, JavaScript, and a problem-solving task. The communication round asked me to mirror what was on screen, repeat audio, and give a roughly two-minute introduction. The final interview was HR…

Accenture in India Software Engineer interview: Core Java and Spring Boot
I expected a normal technical conversation, and that was what I got: focused, direct, and largely about Core Java and Spring Boot. The questions covered object-oriented programming and concurrency, including multithreading, executors, volatile behavior, race conditions, and deadlocks. On the Spring Boot side, I was asked about annotations such as @Controller and @RestController. They also tested…

Accenture in India Software Engineer interview: delayed interview and rescheduling
The interview content was fine. The problem was scheduling. I arrived and waited more than 30 minutes without a message about a delay or whether the interviewer was available. I had to email the team and follow up myself to have the interview rescheduled. That made the experience sour because the issue was basic coordination, not how the questions went. Once it was sorted out, the interview itsel…

Accenture in India Software Engineer Interview Experience: 90 MCQs and virtual panel
My first stages were assessment focused, before any live interaction. I began with a cognitive and technical assessment of 90 MCQs in 90 minutes, followed by a coding assessment with two to three programming questions. Next came an AI driven communication test that combined voice and text. Only after those steps did I reach a combined technical and HR interview in a short virtual panel. The diffi…

The process was staged. First came a cognitive and technical assessment with 90 multiple-choice questions in 90 minutes, followed by a coding assessment with two to three programming problems. Next was a communication assessment that used AI for voice and text. Only then did I reach a combined technical and HR virtual panel lasting 15 to 30 minutes. I did not receive an offer, but the structure w…

Accenture in India Software Engineer Interview Experience: A month of scheduling and silence
The frustrating part began with scheduling. It took a long time to arrange interviews, and I booked slots almost every week for nearly a month before my interview was finally scheduled. Even after it happened, HR did not respond and my emails went unanswered. The waiting continued without feedback. I assumed I had not passed the technical step because nothing moved forward, but I never received a…

Accenture in India Software Engineer Interview Experience: AI agents and Vertex AI requirement
I interviewed for a software engineering role adjacent to AI engineering. The conversation began with my background and introduction, then moved into what an AI agent needs, why someone would use an AI agent, and how an agent differs from a workflow. The technical discussion also covered semantic search. The interviewer tied that to a hiring expectation of about 3 to 4 years of experience with Go…

Accenture in India Software Engineer Interview Experience: C#, .NET, Azure, and live coding
The process began with an online technical assessment before the interview rounds. In the first technical interview, I discussed features I had worked with in C#, .NET, and SQL. The conversation then moved to Azure services through scenario questions and ended with a live coding problem. The difficulty felt average. Moving from real tooling to scenarios and back to coding seemed to test both fami…

Accenture in India Software Engineer Interview Experience: compensation did not meet expectations
Most of my interviews were about C# and real-world scenarios, and the interviewers also asked about my previous project experience. I explained what I had built and how I approached the problems I had worked on. After the technical discussion, I had a managerial round that came down to compensation. The salary did not meet my expectation, so I declined. They offered a 5% hike on my current CTC, b…

Accenture in India Software Engineer Interview Experience: Databricks, PySpark, CDC, and Unity Catalog
My interview journey was heavily focused on Databricks and PySpark. It began with an online assessment containing Databricks multiple-choice questions and a PySpark coding question. A virtual interview followed, with questions about Databricks AutoLoader and another PySpark coding question. The process became even more specific in an in-office round. I was asked about my current project and compl…

Accenture in India Software Engineer Interview Experience: direct technical and Delivery Manager flow
The recruitment process was straightforward because it stayed focused on technical discussion. I had one explicitly technical interview, followed by a final stage with a Delivery Manager. There was no formal HR interview in between. The technical interview was the main checkpoint before the process moved to the delivery-focused final conversation. I appreciated the direct flow, but the communicat…

Accenture in India Software Engineer Interview Experience: Fifteen-minute HR-focused screen
I had an off-campus interview that was much lighter than I expected. There were no technical questions. After a basic introduction and a discussion of my projects, most of the conversation stayed on HR topics. They asked about my strengths and weakness and asked about any prior work or internship experience. The whole interview was short, around 15 minutes. It was rated very easy, and I received…

Accenture in India Software Engineer Interview Experience: Next-day HR scheduling
I applied one night and received a call the next day to schedule the first HR interview. Everything moved quickly after that. I went through three rounds: HR, a technical round, and a final Senior Manager face-check. I did not have an offer yet, but the process felt promising. It moved fast enough that I did not have time to overthink, and each step followed directly from the previous one. The pr…

The process was smooth and quick. I received an offer within a week after the interviews, so waiting was not an issue. The interviewer also made expectations clear, which made it easier to stay aligned during the conversation. The difficulty was average and never overwhelming, but the process still felt well run. I went in with questions about how it would work and instead found direct communicat…

Accenture in India Software Engineer Interview Experience: on-campus assessment to online interview
I went through an on-campus drive that was structured from start to finish. The online assessment began with mental ability, then basic-computer-science MCQs, followed by three questions on frontend, backend, and DBMS. That stage was eliminatory across all of those parts. Next came a communication round that I found easy, followed later by a 15 to 20 minute online interview. That shorter intervie…

Accenture in India Software Engineer Interview Experience: Paper SQL assessment
I interviewed in Malaysia for a .NET role, but the day did not fully match that expectation. The technical assessment focused on SQL and stored procedure style work, and I wrote part of it on paper. There were also scenario questions that seemed intended to map directly to real-world tasks. The assessment itself felt fairly normal, but I received no update afterward and no formal rejection. I did…

Accenture in India Software Engineer Interview Experience: polite scenario-based role discussion
The interview was comfortable from the start. The interviewer was polite, asked for a short introduction, and explained the job description and role expectations. The discussion then moved to scenario-based questions. It was less technical than many interviews and focused on how I would respond in realistic situations and think through the context. I did not receive an offer, but the experience w…

Accenture in India Software Engineer Interview Experience: programming, SQL, projects, and HR scenarios
I started with an online assessment, then had separate technical and HR interviews. The technical round covered programming concepts, SQL, my projects, and core computer-science fundamentals. It felt like they wanted me to connect theory with how I actually build. The HR round focused on how I present myself and work with others. I introduced myself, discussed strengths and career goals, and talk…

Accenture in India Software Engineer Interview Experience: Python and SQL
The technical interview followed a familiar sequence of question sets. It opened with basic Python, including decorators and generators, then moved to the difference between lists and tuples. From there, the discussion turned to SQL ranking functions such as rank and dense rank, before ending with a flatten-list type problem. It felt more like a check of common knowledge than an attempt to probe…

Accenture in India Software Engineer Interview Experience: Python, SQL, Spark, and data modeling
The interview covered a broad set of topics: Python, SQL, Spark, Databricks, cloud concepts, data analysis, and data modeling. I approached it feeling that focused revision could cover a lot, and that proved useful because of the range. The data discussion asked how I would think through datasets and structure the modeling side. I did not receive an offer, but the difficulty felt more about bread…

Accenture in India Software Engineer Interview Experience: React stack before verification silence
My process began with two technical rounds. The first went deeply into React.js and JavaScript, including ES6 and TypeScript, as well as HTML and CSS. We covered API integration, state management, performance optimization, and scenario questions about debugging, code optimization, and component design. I also discussed real project experience. The second round mixed technical and managerial topic…

Accenture in India Software Engineer Interview Experience: Shortlisted but prolonged process
The technical content was not the main issue. Even after I was shortlisted, the process had many steps and long waits between updates. The back-and-forth communication felt excessive, and the delays added frustration rather than clarity. On paper, the process looked thorough, but its timeline made it hard to stay engaged. I did not receive meaningful signals at a pace that matched what the proces…

Accenture in India Software Engineer Interview Experience: spaced system-design discussions
I went through three interviews: a recruiter call followed by two technical rounds. The recruiter was very communicative, but the technical interviews were more about system-design-style discussion than hands-on coding. The pace also stood out. There was roughly one to two weeks between each step, so it felt stretched out rather than like a sprint. After the process, I had a phone call with the r…

Accenture in India Software Engineer interview: HR, programming, SQL, and Git
I had a two-part process: an HR call followed by a technical round. The HR conversation covered introductions and context. The technical section covered core programming concepts, SQL, and Git. There was also problem solving and a brief practical exercise, so they could see how I approached a task rather than only how I described it. The format stayed straightforward and focused on fundamentals t…
