My Accenture Interview Experience 2024

I took part in the Accenture on-campus placement program for an ASE role. The entire selection process consisted of 4 rounds. I filled out the application form around July 26, 2024, where I had to select three preferred job locations.

Timeline:

• Application form – July 26, 2024
• 1st Round: August 28, 2024
• 2nd Round: August 28, 2024
• 3rd Round: August 30 – September 1, 2024
• 4th Round: September 5, 2024
• Result: September 28, 2024

1st Round: Cognitive and Technical Assessment – MCQ Test (90 Questions – 90 min)

This round was an MCQ test focusing on Cognitive and Technical abilities, which I had to take at another college. Fortunately, there were no Quantitative Aptitude questions, which made it a bit easier. It comprised 90 questions across 6 sections, with 90 minutes to complete. I could switch between sections. To clear this round, a minimum score of 75% was generally required, though the cut-off might vary.

1. English Ability(Verbal) - 17 Ques
2. Critical Reasoning and Problem Solving - 18 Ques
3. Abstract Reasoning - 15 Ques
4. Common Application and MS Office - 12 Ques
5. Pseudo Code - 18 Ques
6. Fundamentals of Networking, Security, and Cloud - 10 Ques

2nd Round: Coding Test (2 Questions – 45 min)

After clearing the first round, the coding test was held on the same day. It included 2 questions, typically of Easy/Medium difficulty, and I had 45 minutes to solve them. The difficulty varied, but usually, the first question was easy, and the second might be more challenging. I learned that solving just one question could clear this round, but I tried to solve both to improve my chances of selection.

3rd Round: Communication Assessment

This round was mandatory but non-eliminative. I had 2-3 days to complete it. It was crucial to be in a quiet environment and have a stable internet connection. I had to speak clearly into the microphone. The assessment had six sections:

• Reading (8 ques): I had to read sentences aloud with proper punctuation.
• Repeat (16 ques): I listened to sentences and repeated them exactly as I heard them, sometimes with an American accent.
• Questions (24 ques): I answered questions based on what I heard, for example, choosing between 'bottle' or 'newspaper' for water.
• Sentence Builds (10 ques): I rearranged groups of words to form correct sentences.
• Story Retellings (3 ques): I listened to a brief story and had to retell it accurately within 30 seconds.
• Open Questions (2 ques): I spoke on a given topic for 40 seconds.

4th Round: Interview (Online)

For the final interview, I had to book a preferred time slot. I remember waiting in the virtual lobby as the interview started a bit late, which is normal. The overall duration was about 20 minutes. Accenture typically focuses on project-based and HR questions.

The questions I was asked were:

1. Introduced yourself
2. Have you done any team projects?
3. Tell me about the project.
4. What was your role?
5. What are the key learnings of the project?
6. What difficulties you faced during the project?
7. Have you ever been unsuccessful?
8. Why do you want to join Accenture?
9. What is name of the CEO of Accenture?
10. Do you know how many employees currently work in Accenture?
11. Apart from studies have you done anything for society?
12. What is your least favorite subject in college and why?
13. Do you ever faced any problems with your team members?
14. Any questions for me?

My interview went well, and I found the interviewer friendly. I also solved both coding questions in the second round. However, despite my performance, I did not get selected. It seems selection depends on performance and a bit of luck, so I didn't rely solely on this one company.
