On January 1st, a call from Accenture HR came and scheduled the interview. But one day before the interview, they cancelled and rescheduled it for the next week. This went on for almost 2.5 months, and finally, on April 8th, the Technical and Final Rounds happened. The questions were not too difficult, and I cleared both rounds.

Till April 21st, I didn't receive any call. On April 22nd, one of the members from the HR recruitment team called me and told me that the HR discussion would happen on April 26th, and she scheduled the call. I got a relief that finally something good would happen, especially in this pandemic situation.

So now, the actual twist comes here.

On April 26th, to my utter surprise, another managerial round happened regarding which I had no prior information. Anyways, I gave the interview and called the POC. She told me that the HR round would happen on that day itself.

And guess what? I got a rejection email from Accenture :)

I tried to contact the POC, but that was of no use. So, I wasn't expecting this from a company like Accenture.

Technical Round

1. Project experience
2. Questions regarding Selenium, RFT
3. STLC, Defect life cycle
4. Testing related
5. Scenario based

Managerial Round

1. Experience in leading team(s)
2. Scenario/situation based questions

The round which was supposed to be an HR round turned out to be a managerial round.

Suppose a developer is trying to find an element and is not able to find it before migrating the code to the test environment. However, you as a tester know the location, but the developer is not agreeing with you that the element is present in that particular location. So, how will you convince the developer? This was the question asked by the Accenture DM.

You may think I couldn't frame the question properly, but believe me, this is the actual question.
