Interviewed Nov 2010 in Chicago, IL (took 2 months)
Was a very casual interview process. Had I think 3 phone interviews that you weren't too bad, then got flown out to my location of choice (New York, Chicago, Denver) and did a group information session followed by rotating personal interviews. Everyone was pretty nice, the pay was better then other companies, and there were tons of opportunities at the company - so I took it!
Negotiation Details
No negotiation at all which was very frustrating. She wouldn't allow it. But in hind sight, I was already being paid very close to the top of the pay scale for a new analyst.
Other Details
I got the interview through a College or University and the interview consisted of a Phone Interview, a 1:1 Interview and a Group/Panel Interview.

Interviewed Oct 2011 (took 1+ week)
Applied online. 1st went to an informational interview. Had a good idea what the company did but could not get a clear picture of how I would fit in. 2nd round interview a few days later focused more on my background. Interview read questions off a sheet and asked several questions that I had already answered in a previous statement as if she wasn't paying attention to what I was saying. Didn't get a really good vibe about the company from either interviewer.

Interviewed Oct 2011 (took 4 weeks)
I applied through my college career center. The first two rounds were on campus. The first round I talked about internships and extra-curriculars that were on my resume and she told me more about Accenture and the Analyst position. It lasted 30 minutes.
The 2nd round interview was an hour long behavioral interview. She asked me "Tell me about a time where you faced an unanticipated setback", "Tell me about a time where you had to manage a large amount of data", and "Tell me about a time you had to work with someone that didn't agree with you." She asked very specific questions about each experience, so try to pick something recent. She asked me to describe specific conversations and meetings, recalling many details.
Third round interview was at their offices. There were two 1:1 interviews, lunch, and a presentation about Accenture and the analyst role.

Interviewed Sep 2011 (took 2 weeks)
Recruiter was very nice. phone screen went well but they had other candidates with more direct experience. It took about 2 weeks after I applied. She called, we went over basic questions about my resume and experience. I don't think I highlighted all of my skills well because I was a bit nervous. I don't really do well with phone interviews. Great practice though!

Interviewed Nov 2009 in Toronto, ON (Canada) (took 3 weeks)
Actually interviewed in 2006 (this year not available under the drop-donw) on campus so I don't remember the details very well.
First round was screening to see if I know what the company does (travel expectations etc.) and if I am interested and generally presentable...
Second and final round consisted of two interviews: one with a senior manager and one with a partner. Both were behavioral interviews... only question I remember now is "what makes you think that you will be good at this job?"
Despite the tone of this one question, the interviewers were generally very nice.

Interviewed Jul 2010 in London, England (United Kingdom) (took 2 days)
I had my first interview over the phone because I was located in the US. They asked questions that pertained to information on their website. They asked about interests, why you want to be a consultant, strength weakness, ect. There is also a short case study where they will ask you directed question. Refer back to their service lines for the answers. Also, I found it helped to ask lots of questions. HR did not conduct this interview. It was conducted by a senior associate. If selected, then you get a invitation over email for second interview within 24hrs. Great experience.
Second interview was in London at their main office. Full day of skills test. Start morning with presentation. Then a skills assessment on prioritizing tasks. It was just a lot of information organization. Then there is a case study where they do not give you much time to review. HR then conducts a Q and A. Experience with HR was horrible. They are robots and ask you set answers (most important aspects of case, name three areas of improvement, ect.). There is no feed back but they do ask you how you think you did yourself. There is a group presentation afterwards on a short case study. HR will monitor how you work together. There is not enough time to present for each person.
Found out within 24hrs of their decision.

Interviewed Mar 2011 (took 4+ weeks)
Accenture conducted an interview that was not very well planned. They just sent me to random employees without any notice. I've clearly applied for a functional position, and yet they brought in a technical expert to ask me very technical questions. I was very confused by the entire process.
