Accenture·Software Engineer·Technical Phone Screen

Jun 2026
Interviewed for a software engineering role at Accenture, got asked a pretty standard OOP question. Nothing too intense, felt like a basic screening vibe.
  • What is encapsulation?

“Classic one.”

Accenture·Software Engineer·Online Assessment (OA)

May 2026
Accenture SWE interview with a straightforward array problem. Nothing too wild, felt like a standard screening round.
  • You have an array of n distinct numbers drawn from the range [0, n], but one number in that range is missing. Find it.

“Classic problem, I've seen it before.”

Accenture·Software Engineer·Technical Phone Screen

May 2026
Accenture software engineer interview with a combinatorial optimization problem that honestly had me second-guessing whether I even understood the constraints correctly. The problem was more involved than typical coding rounds and pushed into algorithm design territory.
  • You have N machines, each requiring two types of resources (x_i, y_i). Each rack has a fixed capacity (A, B) across those two dimensions, and a machine must fit entirely in one rack. Multiple machines can share a rack as long as their combined resource usage stays within the rack's limits. What is the minimum number of racks needed to place all machines, and can you do better than a brute-force bitmask DP over subsets?

“I knew immediately this was a bin packing variant and that brute force over subsets would be exponential, which I said out loud.”

Accenture·Software Engineer·Onsite - System Design / Architecture

Apr 2026
Accenture technical interview for what seemed like a mobile or software engineering role. One question, pretty open-ended, and I felt like I was winging it the whole time.
  • Walk me through the technical architecture you'd use to build a mobile alarm clock app.

“Seemed deceptively simple and I almost undersold it.”
