- ABC Software Engineer aptitude, sorting, and HR interview experienceABC · Software Engineer · Online Assessment · Jul 2026
The process had three levels: an aptitude and coding test, a technical interview, and an HR interview. The aptitude and coding test was very easy to clear. The technical round had simple data-structures and algorithms questions, especially sorting, plus database basics. HR was about fit rather than deep technical work. Overall, it felt manageable and landed on the easier side of the spectrum. Loc…
- ABC Software Engineer interview experienceABC · Software Engineer · Online Assessment · Jul 2026
The process was coding-heavy and structured from the start. After recruiter outreach, I completed an online assessment with coding questions and multiple-choice questions on OS, DBMS, OOP, SQL, and general aptitude. Later, the first technical interview went through my resume and projects, DSA, and core computer-science concepts. The next technical round was tougher, with a harder coding problem,…
- Abercrombie & Fitch Account Executive interview: casual group settingAbercrombie & Fitch · Account Executive · Other · Jul 2026Offer
I had a casual, low-pressure group interview in a store setting. I sat with other applicants while the interviewer asked a small set of questions. It seemed intended to gauge how I carried myself, particularly around customer service, interacting in the moment, style, outfit presentation, and the energy I would bring to the brand. The questions covered my past experience, time management and orga…
- Abnormal AI Software Engineer interview: AI agents used throughout a real-work loopAbnormal AI · Software Engineer · HR Screen · Jul 2026
After a recruiter call, I met a hiring manager to discuss my background, projects, and what I hoped to learn from the team. Everyone was welcoming and responsive, and the handoffs between rounds were clear. The technical work centered on AI rather than classic LeetCode prompts. In a large codebase, I used AI to understand the structure, implemented a feature with AI assistance, and wrote tests. T…
- Abnormal AI Software Engineer interview: feature implementation in an existing codebaseAbnormal AI · Software Engineer · Technical Screen · Jul 2026
My technical interview focused on AI-assisted coding. I was placed in a fairly large existing codebase and first had to make sense of it with AI tools. Then I used that understanding and AI support to implement a feature and write tests for the changes. It felt less like a pure algorithm check and more like a test of whether I could turn a task into working code while using AI in a controlled way…
- Abnormal Security Software Engineer interview: AI-assisted work in a large codebaseAbnormal Security · Software Engineer · HR Screen · Jul 2026
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 Experience: Half-day assessment centreAccenture · Consultant · Online Assessment · Jul 2026
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: cases, routing, and SAP FICOAccenture · Consultant · Other · Jul 2026Withdrew
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 scenariosAccenture · Consultant · HR Screen · Jul 2026
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: missed recruiter appointments and automatic removalAccenture · Consultant · Jul 2026No response
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: practical SAP FICO workAccenture España · Consultant · Other · Jul 2026
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 processAccenture España · Consultant · HR Screen · Jul 2026
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 Full Stack Engineer interview: changed salary and work arrangementAccenture España · Full Stack Engineer · Jul 2026Offer
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 with programming and SQL testAccenture España · Software Engineer · Online Assessment · Jul 2026Rejected
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 assessmentAccenture España · Software Engineer · Online Assessment · Jul 2026Rejected
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 interview: a month of scheduling and silenceAccenture España · Software Engineer · Jul 2026
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: unconfirmed invitations and tracking confusionAccenture España · Software Engineer · Jul 2026
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 Federal Services Software Engineer interview: canceled after schedulingAccenture Federal Services · Software Engineer · Jul 2026
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 modelAccenture in India · Full Stack Engineer · Other · Jul 2026Offer
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 Software Engineer Interview Experience: A month of scheduling and silenceAccenture in India · Software Engineer · Technical Screen · Jul 2026
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: React stack before verification silenceAccenture in India · Software Engineer · Technical Screen · Jul 2026
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: assessment, communication, and HRAccenture in India · Software Engineer · Online Assessment · Jul 2026Offer
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 BootAccenture in India · Software Engineer · Technical Screen · Jul 2026Offer
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 reschedulingAccenture in India · Software Engineer · Other · Jul 2026Offer
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: HR to codingAccenture in India · Software Engineer · Online Assessment · Jul 2026Offer
I started with an HR conversation and introduced myself before anything technical. Next came an aptitude test, followed by a coding interview focused on my career background and expertise. The final stage was more about how I approach problems than about writing under pressure. I discussed strategies, scenarios, and principles, and it felt as if they wanted to understand my thinking and technical…
- Accenture in India Software Engineer interview: HR, programming, SQL, and GitAccenture in India · Software Engineer · Jul 2026Offer
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…
- Accenture in India Software Engineer interview: improving an existing appAccenture in India · Software Engineer · Take-home Project · Jul 2026Offer
The process felt very smooth. After the initial steps, I was given an assignment to choose an existing app or web application and improve it. I had to find fixes, strengthen the code, and make sure the work could be tested properly. It was not just a build-from-scratch exercise. The assignment was about taking a real project, improving it, and covering the testing side, which made the process fee…
- Accenture in India Software Engineer interview: Java, Spring Boot, and projectsAccenture in India · Software Engineer · Online Assessment · Jul 2026
The process felt smooth and moderately difficult. After an online coding assessment, I moved into a combined technical and HR interview. The technical discussion covered Core Java, Spring Boot, SQL, JavaScript, React, Git, and SDLC. I also walked through the projects on my resume in detail rather than just listing bullet points. In those same conversations, I got a few HR questions and scenario-s…
- Accenture in India Software Engineer interview: selected rounds and uncertain offer confirmationAccenture in India · Software Engineer · Other · Jul 2026Offer
The interview steps themselves went smoothly. I cleared several rounds, met the selection bar, and was selected for the role, so it felt as though the process was finished. The confusion came afterward while I waited for offer-letter confirmation. I no longer trusted the momentum completely because the back-end operations did not seem aligned with the interviews. In one case, the system showed th…
- Accenture Software Engineer Interview Experience: Go for Gold and a broad online assessmentAccenture · Software Engineer · Online Assessment · Jul 2026
After applying, I first had to complete the Go for Gold experience and earn 2,500 XP points before I could move forward. Then I took an online assessment with quantitative aptitude, gaming-style puzzles, logical reasoning, and more technical aptitude items. The technical portion had two DS questions and SQL queries, plus a frontend-style CSS question and a JavaScript event-listener question. The…
