Accenture Interview Experience | Role: Advanced application engineering analyst | Campus visit: 2024

In July, Accenture commenced the registration process for the Advanced Engineer Hiring (AEH) program at VIT. A pre-placement talk was held on August 27, followed by the assessment test on September 11.

Assessment Overview

The assessment consisted of two parts: a cognitive round and a coding round. Only candidates who performed well in the cognitive assessment were eligible to proceed to the coding round. In the coding round, candidates were shortlisted based on the complete execution of their programs within half the allotted time. The coding questions were of easy to medium difficulty.

Communication Assessment

A week after the coding test, we received a link for the communication assessment. I recommend watching a tutorial on YouTube to prepare for this part. After completing the communication test, I received an interview link four days later.

Interview Process

The interview primarily focused on my resume and basic HR questions. Out of thousands of applicants, 156 were selected, and I was fortunate to be one of them.
