Java Developer at Accenture

Average Interview
Overall Neutral Experience Interviewed and No Offer

Interviewed Oct 2009 in San Antonio, TX (took 2 days)

The first phone interview seemed like they were just trying to get a feel for who you are, as it was mostly talking about yourself, then about Accenture and the benefits that they offer their employees. The next day, I had the skills interview, which I thought went really well. I answered all of the questions that they asked immediately and to the best of my ability. I got one question about databases wrong, but it was just a mix-up of terminology...the conceptual aspect of my answer was correct. After the interview finished, the original recruiter contacted me and told me to fill out a security clearance form and fax it to them, which I did promptly. I didn't hear from them for a few days after that, so I called the original recruiter and he told me that they were no longer interested. It's kind of weird because I have a clean record and I'm 95% sure that my responses to the skills interview went very well.

Interview Questions

Average Interview
Overall Positive Experience Received and Accepted Offer

Interviewed Jan 2008 in San Francisco, CA (took 3 days)

I initially applied to the job through my Universities jobs website. I submitted my resume and was contacted for an on campus interview. I wasn't able to make the on campus interview so they allowed me to do a phone interview. A few months went by before they were able to conduct the phone interview, they let me know I had fallen through the cracks. The phone interview was 30 minutes long and was more of a "coffee talk" type interview. A few weeks later I had a 1 hour long phone interview which tested my ability to think on my feet. Following that I was invited to an on site interview and the company flew me to the interview site, put me in a hotel, and paid for all of my expenses.

Interview Questions

When was a time where you had to teach someone how to do something?

Negotiation Details

I was not able to negotiate. I wasn't even able to pick the office of my choice.

Other Details

I got the interview through a College or University and the interview consisted of a Phone Interview, a 1:1 Interview and a Background Check.
