I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Accenture (Chennai) in Sep 2008
Interview
There was an initial written test to short list the candidates who appeared for the company. The ratio was about 3:10 who cleared the written to no. who attended. Then the shortlisted candidates were sent to a Group Discussion Exercise among small groups to test their communication skills.
Then there was a technical interview. It had questions in networking and C++. People who cleared this test were sent to a HR interview after which the candidates were given their offers. I was among the 172 people who were given offers. Totally around 1200 people attended
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
I was given a coding problem and was asked to solve immediately. Found it difficult. But cannot remember the question
On campus drive where students were selected at random. So it was based on luck totally. 3 rounds one aptitude one hr one technical. Difficulty was medium so basically it was overally a good experience. Nothing so hard to prepare if you are already have decent grade and an average student it would be over par.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Accenture
Interview
The first interview was with HR, and the second was technical in nature. Questions covered architecture, testing, and databases. The selection process was well-organized and efficient. It was a positive experience that left a good impression of both the staff and the company.
