Looks sooperaspirant99 wrote:So for now I am through with the interviews and waiting for the results so i would just share my experience for the 2 major interviews that I had:
Company 1:
1) Telephonic round--HR..generic questions askedand then invited for the 1st technical round
2) 1st technical round was with the Testing head(as my work profile is in Testing)--One written test based on logical thinking and ISEB/ISTQB understanding..it lasted 1 round ...Cleared that and was called for the second round...
3) 2nd Technical round--This was with the Techincal architect & Testing head in the same room: I was asked by the HR to prepare a presentation for my 2nd round after i cleared my 1st round . So i presented the .ppt to the tech architect and there were questions around..went smooth as i had an idea about the presentation i was making for a change ...then there were some technical questions around web technologies where there wwere some hiccups as i had to pass a few questions ...then a wireframe and was asked to build some sceanros etc etc .. in all i was 80% satisfied with the interview which lasted for 1:40 min..phew...but could have studied more...now waiting for the result
Company 2:
1) Ist round HR telephonic-- cleared that(already explained in my earlier threads)
2) 2nd round--was an online test--this was technical with questions around testing, test planning,approach , automation etc...cleared this and then was invited by HR for f2f...
3) 3rd round--F2f with the techincal architect who asked some generic questions , questions around my work profile, gave some case studies, some behavourial scenarios etc etc..this lasted for 1 hour ..Then I was told by the interviewer that the HR will contact me...now waiting for the results...
I have not given any specific question as i hope everyone will understand why but the above was a skeleton of the major interviews that i attended till now..hope it helps!!
Pay is bad considering how many hours you are expected to work and this seems to get worse the more senior you are.
Bad reputation within the market so you often get a lot of staff at client sites that already hate you before you've even started. Ridiculous laddering system for promotions. High level of travel expected.
BTW I went to the site you pointed out but what i found is exactly the opposite that you said...for reference: http://www.glassdoor.com/Reviews/Accent ... -E4138.htmwunder wrote:More details can be found at Glass Door - very useful website for checking potential employers (as long as it is rather big company).

I might have thanked as well for correcting me but the tone of your writing didn't seem quite helpful or pleasant to me ..so not sure which side the deficiencies lie...wunder wrote:I don't preach or teach anything. I just wrote my experience - most people are usually thankful when their language deficiencies are corrected.
About A.:
notice how most of positive reviews belong to US locations. Anyway, I only gave you a link (and I did heard some bad things about them in the past from a couple of contractors I worked with).
Though all your posts have been commendable so far, in this instance my dear friend, it is incorrect. Glass door is merely a portal to vent out frustrations by those employees who just could not take it in a challenging industry and hence had to leave.wunder wrote:More details can be found at Glass Door - very useful website for checking potential employers (as long as it is rather big company).

Agreed if one works at Analyst or Junior Consultant level - All you so is listen to higher level bosses shouting and barking orders and one has no role whatsoever other than that of a slaveWanderer wrote:Doesn't alter the fact Accenture are crap! Allegedly of course!
This is true to some extent, but Glassdoor also has a lot of reviews from people who wrote them to get free access - and those are not necessary bad. Plus even in bad reviews you can see some common themes.kenfrapin wrote:Glass door is merely a portal to vent out frustrations by those employees who just could not take it in a challenging industry and hence had to leave.

Yes, you can forward your calls on to your mobile number in India..However, you have to buy a subscription available on the skype website...I bought a 3 month subscription.asal wrote:Hi aspirant99, Could you please let me know how this skype works ?
I want to use my Inida mobile number to receive calls as I am not using any computer to pick skype calls
If I take skye UK number can I forward that to India Mobile?
I think once recruiters make a call to my UK number(subscribed from SKype) then automatically once call is forwarded then I can receive UK call on my India Mobile.Please correct me if I am wrong.
thanks.
