Interviewed Sep 2011 in London, England (United Kingdom) (took 5 days)
Very detailed and strong grilling. Have your competency examples ready and be ready to expand on the points, such as "and how specifically did you show that skill in that situation" - it's not enough to outline a scenario that implies you had that skill, for example if asked to give an example of leadership, it's not enough that you were captain of something, you will have to explain how your actions showed your leadership skills. Also, know:
1) Clients - recent cases, names, and what accenture did for them
2) Competitors - not just the obvious McKinsey/BCG, do your homework
3) Service areas and service lines
Also, have your application memorised and at hand, they will ask you the essay questions again.

Had a telephonic interview first then invited to London office for 1:1 interview. It was competency based and case interview. The case was simple but I lost during the analysis.

Interviewed Nov 2009 in London, England (United Kingdom) (took a day)
I was lucky to be interviewed by a consultant and not an HR robot. She was very friendly and helped put me at ease. The interviews focused around your bog standard competency based questions, followed by a really simple mini-case study. Unfortunately my interest was in strategy, yet she had said at the outset that 'I'm assuming that you're here for technology'. I think Strategy must have been full already by that point so I basically shot myself in the foot.
