I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Accenture (Bhilai) in Oct 2021
Interview
The interview was smooth and exactly what you would expect.
The interviewer was warm and open to communication (unlike interview panels in Cognizant and Capgemini) and made me comfortable first.
Next, he asked me the cliche questions for freshers : introduce yourself, what projects have you worked on recently, how do you keep up with the fast changing tech, etc
The question that I had most fun answering was "mention 3 things that you noticed during the COVID lockdown" .
Throughout the interview, I felt like the interviewer is interested in testing more of my soft skills than technical skills. He even gave me positive affirmation a couple of times.
Overall, the interview experience was great and the entire hiring process at Accenture was quite smooth.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
1. What did you do during the COVID lockdown?
2. Mention 3 things that you noticed during the COVID lockdown.
Self introduction and projects explanation in detail. More focused on general questions rather than technical side. Very easy to crack. Mine was a virtual interview but the result took almost 4 months.
It was a two round process where 1st round involved technical question and 2nd round mostly managerial round where they test your ability to manage the project and how you handle the situtation
I applied online. I interviewed at Accenture (Manila, Manila) in Jul 2026
Interview
It was automated via a Talegent assessment, including learning agility, critical thinking, emotional intelligence, innovation/creativity, tech-saviness/curiosity, English language skills, and C++.
The test was easy, barring the C++ portion. The test suite was a bit broken at times though and required multiple reloads.
