Round 3: Virtual Interview

On December 8, we all received an email from them to confirm our interview slot. There were 2 days in and 8 batches for each day from which we could select our slots. After selecting the slots, the final day came.

My slot was from 10:20 AM and my interview began at 10:40 AM. You must stay in the lobby for as long as 45-60 minutes before contacting any supervisor since many of my classmates faced this issue.

My interview began on their platform(it was not MS Teams or Meet) and again, my Bluetooth mic was not working. I was able to hear the interviewer but, I was not audible to him. So, I had to close the call and rejoin it. Finally, it began and the interviewer introduced himself, and likewise, I did so. He was quite friendly and started asking me the following questions:

1. Why do you want to join Accenture?
2. What is your final year project?
3. What does your project aim to solve and the workflow?
4. Have you ever been in a leadership position?
5. If your group is quite scattered and teamwork is not there, what are the measures you could take?
6. Have you ever organized something in your college?
7. Describe a situation where you saw a silver lining in your problems.
8. What do you like to do apart from coding and academics?
9. Previous internship experience?
10. Are there any special courses you have done?

I was surprised that the interview was not completely technical and focused more on soft skills. But, indeed, the interview went nice and it lasted for about 30 minutes. He gave me positive feedback and I was asked to leave the room as he had other candidates to attend to.

Please Note: Do not hesitate to ask questions from the interviewee. Even if there are technical glitches, do not be stressed, be patient. They understand the network conditions and allow you to take your time.

Verdict: Selected!

Tips: Do not be stressed about your lack of technical skills. Accenture values learning and allows you to grow into the position. However, you need to have good conversational skills and a basic understanding of what the company expects from you. Even if there are technical issues (there were a lot of them in my case), do not be stressed. Just calm down and rejoin the link or wait for someone to reach out to you.

Hey everyone!

Today, I’ll be telling you about my interview experience with Accenture for the role of Associate Software Engineer as a part of my on-campus hiring process.

So, Accenture visited our college in November end last year. There were openings for two roles – ASE and FSE. The interview process for both the roles was same, and in the end, it was up to the interviewer to recommend us for FSE roles.

Eligibility Criteria: No active back-logs, CGPA > 7.5, valid PAN card
