Accenture — 90 MCQs, a communication check, and a 5-minute interview

Background

Three stages overall, and honestly the whole thing moved faster than I expected once I got into it.

Round-by-round

1. Online assessment

90 MCQs covering basic computer knowledge and general problem-solving — nothing too specialised, more a test of overall aptitude. Then two coding questions, which I could solve in whichever language I was most comfortable with.

2. Communication round

Different from a typical technical assessment. It tested spoken communication through reading passages aloud, listening-and-repeating tasks, and a short storytelling exercise based on a topic shown on screen. Less an "interview" than a structured communication check.

3. Interview round

Surprisingly brief — just 4–5 minutes. My background, the project I was most proud of, and since it was relevant to my profile, a few machine learning concepts. The interviewer also asked about previous job offers I'd had, which I answered honestly.

Verdict

Selected — the letter of intent arrived within 10 days, with a one-week window to accept.
