- Experience Level: 2 Years

I applied for the LLM Operations Engineer role at Accenture. My background is in Conversational AI, Oracle Digital Assistant (ODA), and Generative AI, with strong hands-on work building enterprise chatbots and RAG-powered systems for Oracle Fusion HCM.
The interview was technical and focused on:
- Python + SQL basics
- ML fundamentals
- LLM + RAG concepts
- ODA domain knowledge
- Cloud cost awareness
- JavaScript async fundamentals
Here is my complete interview experience, question-by-question.
Overview of Interview Process:
Technical Round
- Duration : 1 hour
The interviewer began with introductions and then deep-dived into my projects, coding skills, and understanding of LLM operations.
Below is the exact set of questions I was asked.
- Tell me about yourself
- Explain your engineering project – problem statement and your role
- Explain your current project – problem statement and your role
- Write Python code to read a CSV and impute null values with median
- Write Python + SQLite query to find employees with more than 3 leave requests in the previous month
- How do you manage cloud costs?
- Explain prompting techniques
- Difference between regression and classification – name some algorithms
- What is overfitting?
- How would you deploy a multilingual chatbot in ODA?
- What is RAG and how did you use it in your project?
- Which metrics would you focus on to improve model performance?
- What kind of LLM models are available in the market?
- What are the data structures in Python?
- Difference between arrays and strings
- How would you ensure an intent in ODA gives the correct answer? What precautions would you take?
- How are async operations handled in JavaScript, and how does the event loop work?
Post-Interview Reflections:
- I realized that I need to have to polish my concepts around Machine Learning also needed to work around my coding skills a bit.
- I was unable to write both codes as well as unable to answer few questions. It is important to attempt them promptly, avoid cheating at all costs.
- I fumbled while communicating, After promptly asking intrviewer about the feedback, he told me to work on my coding skills.
- If selected, I was to work on cloud, preferably AWS or GCP.
Additional Information:
- The next steps will depend upon the feedback by the interviewer. It might take an unspecified amount of time though.
Closing Note:
- It was a balanced interview, part coding, part ML basics, part ODA understanding, and a major portion focused on LLM and RAG.
- The interview was fair, and the feedback was helpful.
- For now, I am continuing to prepare for the next rounds with stronger coding fundamentals.
