came through Accenture's frontend engineer interview in April 2026 for a mid-senior position on a client-facing product team. this was a custom software delivery team rather than the traditional consulting track, so the process leaned more technical than what you'd see for pure analyst roles.
three technical rounds plus a behavioral.
round 1 - coding (60 min): live coding in a shared editor. first problem was a relatively clean React component build: they asked me to implement a filterable list with client-side search and keyboard navigation. no library restrictions, I used vanilla React hooks. second problem was a JavaScript async question, fetching data from two endpoints in parallel and merging the results, handling errors from either one gracefully. Promise.all with try/catch. it wasn't tricky but you need to know the async model solidly. no TypeScript required but I used it and they seemed fine with that.
round 2 - system design for frontend (60 min): I was not fully prepared for how real this was. they asked me to design a client-facing dashboard that ingests real-time data (think: a logistics tracking UI that updates every few seconds). I had to cover: component architecture, data fetching strategy (polling vs. SSE vs. WebSockets and why), caching, performance at scale (what if there are 50 widgets each making API calls), accessibility basics. this was more like a scaled-down FAANG-style frontend system design. I'd recommend actually studying this if you're applying. a lot of frontend candidates skip it.
round 3 - code review (45 min): they showed me a real (de-identified) piece of frontend code and asked me to review it. the code had a few issues: a useEffect with a missing dependency array causing a bug, an overly deep component tree creating prop-drilling hell, and a performance issue where an expensive computation wasn't memoized. I had to narrate the review as if I was talking to a colleague. this format was new to me and I liked it. it tests whether you can give feedback constructively, not just find bugs.
behavioral (45 min): STAR format, consulting-flavored. "describe a time you pushed back on a client's technical decision" was the one that surprised me. for a frontend role I expected maybe culture-fit softballs. they care about delivery judgment at Accenture even for IC engineers.
offer came in at $118k base for the mid-senior level in a secondary market. not big-tech comp but the project rotation and client exposure is genuinely interesting if you like variety over depth.
