I applied through college or university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Accenture (Mumbai) in Jan 2011
Interview
two interviews, one HR and one Technical. Both were easy. once selected, You have induction in five star hotel after interview where they provide food and drinks and make you play some non-sense games. After the on-boarding is done, people are assigned to different technologies randomly irrespective of their area of interest. Luckily I got into development but most of my friends were forced in testing and mainframe of which they had no idea and interest.
After the very basic, zero learning training they will assign you to project at random locations according to their requirement and not based on your location preference. You can say no to at most 3 projects if you have any problem joining that project.
Interview was nice but it was much technical heavy and the interviewer had asked both the technical and HR related questions and also some general knowledge and current affairs questions.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about your college projects and what is your and other team members role in the project
After assessment, Interview is Initial screening only, nothing technical. Consists of common questions so you should practice. I think most candidates get the job. Overall a good experience and would recommend to others.
Had long aptitude rounds followed by 3 coding questions. All were pretty easy. Followed by a 10 minute interview held online, not technical, just asked personal questions. The coding questions had web design (HTML & CSS), basic DSA (python, C# or java)
