Accenture Java Software Engineer interview questions

Background: I applied online through the Accenture website. The job posting did not list job responsibilities or qualifications other than having prior experience with Java. I was shortly contacted by a recruiter to set up an interview. She took a mini-vacation for almost a week and forgot to set the interview up. I was informed that this would be a behavioral interview. The first interview was canceled 15 minutes before it started, and was rescheduled for the next week. When the interviewer finally called me (5 minutes late), I was treated to a very disinterested senior manager that informed me that this was not the behavioral interview, but it was actually the skills interview. From the way that he was talking about the company, I felt that he might have been reading off of a script. His questions were all pre-prepared, highly-specific, and closed, meaning most required either a yes, no, pass, or a very short response. It was recommended to me by the interviewer that I should pass questions that I was unable to answer right away in order to save time. Unfortunately, without prior knowledge of the exact libraries and APIs to study, it was very difficult for me to answer questions effectively. The questions asked during this interview appeared to have come from an approved pool or list, and they were very awkward to listen to and answer. For example, all questions were structured and read like this, "What is a computer?(No Breath or pause)What is a computer?" Multiple questions were semantically confusing, such as this series, "How is an apple similar to an orange?" which was followed immediately by "How is an orange similar to an apple?" (Those questions will have the same answer, and a simple Venn diagram will back that up.) Those types of questions continued until the questionnaire was completed, and the interview abruptly ended from there. For anyone reading this, I would make the recommendation to stay away from Accenture. If this is how they "assess" a candidate's skills in an interview, then they are truly missing the point of having the interview in the first place. So be warned, if you want to work for a company that shows a genuine interest in you and what you can bring to the table as a potential hire, Accenture is NOT the place to go.

A reserved room and a senior manager. Simple questions about the CV, some personal questions about your education through the university. Talkin' about projects involving programming through the university or another projects (jobs, personal experiences).
