Accenture interview experience

After the cognitive and technical assessment, coding round and spoken-English test, the interview is usually one round of about 30 minutes that leans on your projects and HR-style questions. Some interviewers go into technical depth (Java, JavaScript, Spring Boot or Gen AI), depending on the role.

Selection process

  1. Cognitive and technical assessment: English, reasoning, pseudocode, networking/cloud and MS Office.
  2. Coding round: Two problems, usually easy.
  3. Communication assessment: AI-graded spoken English.
  4. Interview: Mostly project and HR questions; sometimes technical depth on the skills you list.
