I applied to "Accenture Technology Software Engineer - City University of New York." It was an application for CUNY students.

I made it to the final round interviews. They sent an email containing tips for their case interview. I watched and studied case interviews, but the interview I got was completely different.

In a case interview, you are given a problem and you are supposed to give an analysis of the problem and describe possible solutions. The interview is supposed to look like a conversation.

What happened was the interviewer handed me a sheet with a problem and told me to write answers to the questions at the bottom. Then, he said he was going to answer some emails on his laptop. After I finished writing my answers, I tried to do my best in this awkward interview.

I didn't get an offer. This happened in Nov 2019, and I am still somewhat salty.

The case interview situation was that a company needed to update its old systems, and they needed a plan to work it out.

The interviewer just asked the regular interview questions.
