Job Description for Associate Software Engineer

Associate software engineers may work in developing software either as a product for use by the public or for private use within a business. While they tend to be on the lower or beginner rungs of their particular industry, companies in need of software engineers will often hire them due to the fact that they are more affordable than more senior software engineers. However, working as an associate software engineer is usually a stepping stone to higher positions and fulfilling careers in software engineering.

Associate software engineers must be trained in reading and using different programming languages such as Java or C++. As lower level engineers, associate software engineers often work under software engineers and are involved in testing new software programs or making relatively small changes to preexisting programs. The initial design and creation of these programs is usually left to the engineers that are higher up on the department hierarchy. They also usually work in an office setting (in a cubicle, conference room, etc.) and are generally part of a team of other associate software engineers. Tools for work are a computer and computer programs, telephone, pen and paper, code editors, and other normal office supplies. They usually work Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Educational requirements for this position are usually a bachelor's degree in software engineering or computer science. One to three years of experience in the field is a common requirement for associate software engineers as well. (Copyright 2019 PayScale.com)

  • may chance ba ako makalusot dito kahit wala akong alam sa programming? madami ba tanong sa programming sa exam/interview?
  • guys, i just want to share my experience.
    I went there today (walk-in) at 3F Robinsons Forum (Boni). I filled out an application form and passed it in the reception area, then I'm asked to wait at the lobby. Time passed. My name was called, along with other names, and we went to the examination room and took the exam there. There were two types of exams for ASE (I'm applying for this post), English and Aptitude/Programming. Regarding the English part, it's composed of reading comprehension, etc. (*** mga tanong na kahit magreview ka ay waley namang magbabago). Next is the Aptitude/Programming exam, I thought it would be about writing your own pseudocode in any prog. language in solving the problem. Well, turned out I'm wrong, and if you'll asks me, it's just an abstract reasoning kind of exam and it also has math problems(carry lang toh guys, wag lang tamaring mag-isip ).
    after the exam, you'll be asked to wait at the lobby (nuod2x muna dun sa tv nila na paulit-ulit *** pinapakita. whahahah). Then you're name will be called and they'll tell you the result of your exam (sabi sakin 'Congratulations. You passed the exam!'). And they'll schedule you for an interview right away (meron kang mga 1-2 hours para kumain muna). Your name will be called again and interview na!
    (totoo *** sinabi ng iba dito, *** mga usual nga lang ang tinatanong sa interview, basic lang, iyong makikita mo sa mga tips sa interview online). Well, as usual, I felt like I blew up my interview again. Anyway, the interviewer told me at the end of our conversation that I passed both exam and the interview (tinanggap niya *** mga english ko). Kaya lang sabi sakin, kapag ASE daw ang apply ko, matagal pa daw ang next batch nito at napakadami daw ang nasa waiting list. The interviewer asked me on how long can I wait for that post. I answered until May (since May pa naman ang graduation). Then, tinanong niya kung gusto ko daw ba sa ibang post sa IO (Infrastructure Outsourcing), baka daw dito makapagstart ako agad. Sabi ko either post will do. Tapos wala daw *** lead nila ngayon kaya tatawagan na lang ako mga Thursday.
    (additional info: shifting daw ang pasok, sila ang pipili kung saang site ka ilalagay at kung saang capabilities ka ilalagay.)
    tanong ko lang po sa mga ASE na dito, sino o ano *** lead? Ibig sabihin ba, after exam and hr interview, my isa pang interview sa lead? ganun ba iyon? Sana tumawag sa thursday (Stay positive! Smile lagi! ).

    pede pa ba mag walk in para sa position ng ASE? punta sana ako sa monday e,
  • Hello. Nag-take ako ng ASE exam kanina. After ng exam pinatawag ako for interview. Kinabahan ako sa interview pero naging ok naman *** ending na usapan ni interviewer. Sabi nya sa akin wait n lang daw ako ng 2-3 weeks para sa result.. Ganun b **** *** normal process? o wala n talagang pag-asa??

    This is normal. I waited 3 weeks before my JO.

    ...tanong ko lang po sa mga ASE na dito, sino o ano *** lead? Ibig sabihin ba, after exam and hr interview, my isa pang interview sa lead? ganun ba iyon?

    I suggest you do not take IO position. They have a smaller starting salary than ASE. From what i know, this position is offered to people who fail the exam/interview.
    The lead is the immediate supervisor of the interviewer. They probably had to confirm something with them. There is only one interview for ASE post.
    guys help naman, gusto ko magtry ** kaso hindi maganda grades ko noong first two years in college medyo madami binagsak. pero nagtino na ng later years in college. i think im competent naman in terms of knowledge, im confident naman na kakayanin ko yung exam pero may nakapasok na ba dito na hindi kagandahan ang grades?

    From what i know, they are strict on failing grades. They actually ask this question in the interview.
    ano platform ng ASE dito. share naman po. TIA

    Depends on the market demand. ex. Java, Testing, Peopelsoft, SAP, Hosentric - COBOL,etc.
    may chance ba ako makalusot dito kahit wala akong alam sa programming? madami ba tanong sa programming sa exam/interview?

    Probably not. You should at least know basic programming logic but there are very few people I work with that took non-IT related courses in college. Like Chemistry, education, etc.
  • I was interviewed last March 29. Sabi saken wait daw ako 2 to 3 weeks para sa results.. Sana pasado. Sobrang kinakabahan talaga ko, gusto ko kasi talaga training sa Accenture para sa ASE. :(
  • @ppeneojy. next week pa po ang graduation namin but I took the exam, and fortunately na'interview na rin ako yesterday, ang sabi sakin magpasa daw ako ng list ng grades ko saka pa lang daw malalaman *** result if I passed. ganu po kalaki ang chance na matanggap sa case ko? TIA

    Usually they will tell you if you passed or not right away but since you are still an undergrad, I don't know why they didn't tell you the result. Why don't you just submit your grades and find out?
    @all -> san po ba pwd mag walk in para mag take ng exam sa accenture po ASE sna *** position na aaplyan ko . maraming salamat po sa sasagot .

  • hello, it's good to be back..
    i'll try to answer some questions din po..
    @narinari - for a fresh grad.. i think accenture really is the best place to be.. foundation is good, and the opportunities are great.. the downside lang naman is being assigned to a capability you don't want.. about applying, contact me na lang for details..
    @LittleMissGee - i think it means you are being considered.. one of the requirements kasi talaga is your GPA.. my friend was put on hold kasi natagalan sa pagccompute ng GPA nya when he applied..
    @toni_31 - sir, just try to follow-up on your application from time to time.. usually kasi iniipon pa nila para isang bagsak na lang sa orientation..
    if you have questions, you can contact me @ 09272540353..
    also for applicants who wants more details.. just text me..
  • Paano po mag follow-up ng application sa Accenture? Wait lang po ba ng call or e-mail? Or puede rin magtanong sa recruitment center? thanks.
  • @all tip **** kung pano type ng exam dun ) .mag eexam kc ako sa monday eh
  • May Bond daw sa Accenture? mahigpit ba sila dun?
    Pano pag kailangan mong umalis talaga? magbabayad ka talaga?
