Disappointed with the Candidate Experience at Accenture
I recently interviewed at Accenture for a Security Architect role. I cleared two rounds of technical interviews and was later told by the HR (verbally) that I was selected and that my offer letter would be released soon. Based on that confirmation, I submitted all required documents and waited patiently for nearly a month. Despite following up multiple times, there was no proper communication or update. My application status remained “Active” on the portal the entire time. Eventually, I received a rejection email with no explanation, feedback, or context, despite being verbally told that I was selected. it’s disappointing when a candidate is given verbal assurance and kept waiting without clarity. I expected more transparent from a company of Accenture’s reputation. If anyone from Accenture here could help me understand what might have happened or possibly refer me for any similar openings in the Security Architect / Data Encryption/ key management, I’d be genuinely grateful.

Interview Preparation Tips

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - Please dont apply for application developer roles at accenture. They have wasted my one working day after so many postponements they scheduled interview. At last i attended and answered almost all questions. And also interviewer responded in positive way for all my answers, then next day instead of providing feedback to my interview they sent mail like they are not recruting anyone for that role and skills. Not sure what happened .but they wasted my time. During the interview also i asked interviewer what will be the project/role and responsibilities. He said thats not for any project but for generic interview. they dont have requirement but they are conducting interviews. I didnt expect this from a reputed company accenture .
