Interviewed Jan 2010 (took 4+ weeks)
1st round: I got an e-mail asking for a good time for an initial phone interview with the recruiter. It was a get to know you interview asking you to go over your resume, why this company, why this position, etc. It took about 30 minutes.
2nd round: Got a phone call asking for a good time to do a behavioral/situational interview and it was set up for a week later. I was given 4 questions about 15 minutes for each question. Definitely prepare hard and in detail for this round. The turnaround time was fast as I was given a call the next day telling me I made the office visit.
3rd round: The office visit was set for later that week which consisted of a presentation and meeting with 2 higher management employees. I met for an hour each with the managers and was able to talk to the other employees of the company. This is definitely a time to show your people skills and just to talk about some of your experiences. All interviewees are reimbursed for traveling expenses. Whole process took about 3-4 hours. The turnaround time was fast as I was given a offer the next business day through the phone.

Interviewed Jan 2010 in Istanbul (Turkey) (took 3 months)
a first interview about the CV then the second one with a senior manager and a last phase with a partner. All through the interview it was about "what you are" and "if you have the knowledge about the subject". Unlike P&G or other ones like that, your hobbies or social successes are not important to Accenture it seems..

Interviewed Jan 2009 (took 1+ week)
The first interview was a phone interview with an HR rep. Basically a screening interview. From there I was invited into the office for a full day of interviews. When I arrived at the office i was taken to a conference room along with 5 other candidates. We then had a presentation on the company and a question and answer period with multiple employees from different levels and backgrounds. We then went off to interview with 3 different interviewers. These were one on one interviews which lasted from 30 to 60 minutes. Each interviewer was either a senior manager or executive, and they all had their own brand of interviewing and different questions.

Interviewed Jan 2010 in Singapore (Singapore) (took 2 days)
The first interview was a resume interview, where they scrutinised your resume and we talked about the items. The second interview was a scenario-based one, where I was asked to specify the situation, my thoughts and what I did. E.g., Talk about a situation where you disagreed with a boss and what you did, talk about a situation where you experienced difficulty.

Interviewed Jan 2008 (took 4 weeks)
After completing my application form online I was emailed by the company and logged on to a secure area where I could choose a date and time for a phone interview. That interview was with a member of the HR team who assessed competencies and skills, I was also given a case study that I had a few minutes to prepare and answer questions on.
I found out immediately that I had got through that stage and would attend an assessment day in London a few weeks later. There were about 6 others at the assessment day. We were assessed on our interaction with each other, creativity, presentations and a 1:1 interview. Again there was a case study that you worked on as a group, you also had to come with a new product idea then had two minutes to present somebody elses product to the recruitment team. The final 1:1 interview assesses your own self-perception, i.e. how well you think you did over the day.

Interviewed Jan 2008 (took 2 weeks)
Accenture recruited from my graduate institution. The first round was to weed out nearly half of the candidates (went from about 40 to 20). This was a 15min interview with the recruiter and they likely assessed your potential to be a consultant on some kind of criteria.
Next round was a 1 on 1 interview with a manager where you are asked specific questions about your experiences in work/school and also given case scenario (of the 20 that stayed only 5 went on or accepted the invitation to the third round)
Third round was with Senior Executives and they did there best to "sell" you on Accenture. Less stressful than the second round. The job is yours to lose at this point.

Interviewed Mar 2009 in Melbourne (Australia) (took 3 weeks)
I already interned at Accenture prior to receiving this offer, so the process was slightly different for me. Given that I interned in SI&T but wanted to get into MCIM, i went through a number of interviews with various members of the MCIM team.
I had an interview with a Senior Mgr from the F&PM team which was a roughly 60 minute interview aimed at a bit of technical competency as well as mainly getting to know you type questions, followed by a catch up with a Senior Executive, which was mainly a getting to know you interview.
If you came straight through off the street, you would have a phone interview (10 mins) followed by possibly an interview with HR or a Manager before getting to the above stage
