I applied through college or university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Accenture (Milán) in Apr 2023
Interview
There were two main steps in the interview process. The first step was with HR, and I was greeted by two friendly and easy-going HR representatives. During this step, we discussed my resume and my past experiences in more detail. The interview was short, but I felt comfortable and at ease throughout.
The second step was a technical interview with the department manager, and unfortunately, it did not go as smoothly as the first one. The manager was 30 minutes late, which was frustrating since I had prepared well for the interview. When he finally arrived, he immediately started firing off a barrage of technical questions. I did my best to answer them, but he kept interrupting me and was extremely impatient. This made me feel very uncomfortable and nervous.
Despite this negative experience, I was surprised to receive a job offer. Even so, I kindly declined the offer without mentioning my complaints, since the HR representatives were extremely friendly with me.

Question 1
First Step: Based on your CV, your experience, courses, projects, interests, plans, etc... Seconds Step: Too many technical questions, from the basic ones to the advanced ones. It was like they were hiring for a senior SE instead of a Junior one.
They asked me to tell a few things about myself, talk about a few things in my resume like some volunteer work and the internship I had done. They wanted me to talk about the programming languages that I know and the tools I have used. Also, asked me why I was interested in Accenture and they explained to me how the company is structured (different job levels and their benefits).
They gave me a test to do at my own time with basic programming questions, object oriented programming questions, SQL fundamentals questions and logical reasoning questions (no programming).
