Sr. Java/J2EE Developer Interview Experience - Slovenia
Process
There were a total of 4 rounds in the selection process.
First round was an aptitude test consisting of 3 independent legs.
The 1st one was a cognitive assessment which tested the cognitive abilities, perceptions, and problem-solving qualities of the candidate.
The 2nd leg was a set of short SQL exercises.
Finally, the 3rd leg was a set of short Java exercises.
All three were in the form of multiple-choice. You had one hour and a half to complete all 3 sets.
The cognitive assessment was easy. The Java exercises were of average difficulty (lots of questions on Java 8 features such as functional interfaces, streams, Optional, etc.). The SQL test was difficult, involving pattern matching and categorization.
On successful completion, you get to the 2nd round with an interview with the HR to briefly discuss the role and alignment of values on both sides – a profile blueprint, so to say.
After a few days, I got a phone call to arrange a 1-hour meeting with the technical staff. The type and structure of the interview were not clear, so I didn't know what to expect.
The meeting with the technical staff was a discouraging experience where, even if an offer is made, I will decline it because it speaks volumes of the attitude towards employees. One of the interviewers was extensively nervous, stressful, and borderline rude. I wouldn't like having co-workers like that in my work environment.
Questions
Introductions took 5-10 minutes. The rest of the hourly interview was obsessively focused on how the software at my current job is designed, why it works a certain way and not another. In general, the focus was on details not related to the role I applied for.

Accenture Work Experiences
- 5.0Good Balance, Some OvertimeSr. Java/J2EE Developer • Current EmployeeMonterrey, Nuevo León, MexicoFebruary 23, 2023Pros: Good life-work balance, certifications support, and improvement.Cons: There are some cases where you have to make extra hours. It depends on the project you are in charge of.
- 1.0I worked for 5 yearsSenior Software Engineer • Current EmployeeHyderābād, Telangana, IndiaNovember 17, 2025Pros: Good for women and has more benefits.Cons: Too many politics, no promotion and no hikes.
- 1.0T&S - Terrible place to workQuality Expert • Current EmployeeSandyford, United KingdomNovember 17, 2025Pros: At this stage? Nothing. Accenture: avoid!Cons: Management – they don't care for the lowest-level employees. No pay increase? You need to accept. Costs of living in Dublin – bills, transportation – going up, but not your salary at Accenture. They asked us to volunteer for a new project in Sandyford (or else they will pick and choose). We were promised free food and an amazing restaurant, which they closed before we arrived. There is no food, no coffee machines – all there is is a water dispenser and paper towel. Some employees don't even have desks to work in the office! Now we are told by a super hyped, cheerful lady (so inappropriate for the circumstances, in our opinion) that we are transferred back to the Grand Canal office and required to work horrendous shift hours. Morning shift 6:30 am, evening shift 3-11:30 pm. How are people who live in D24, D22, D18, D15, or commuter towns supposed to get to work? Sometimes there is no public transport at early hours, or going home so late that it is dangerous! Do they not take any concern or responsibility for our safety on the way to work and back home? I can't afford a taxi if I miss my last transport. They told us that there is no car park at Grand Canal for the ones who drive. But they say that we will have coffee at least! Every big and bad (for us) change you justify as a business requirement, but the truth to be told, all you care about is money (which we don't get) because the changes don't affect you – they affect us! So many of us will be looking for new jobs and not at Accenture. This company doesn't care for low-level employees. You have people dealing with one of the most nasty jobs. Jobs that have an impact on our mental health, and we are being underpaid and treated like nothing. You should remember, you wouldn't have a project to run if you didn't have people like us.
