Interviewed Aug 2011 in Mississauga, ON (Canada) (took 4 weeks)
Started by applying online through the Accenture Career Portal. The application process was a bit more involved then the usual as there were two short answer type questions (Why do you want to be a consultant? What is a typical day for a consultant?).
I got the initial phone call within a week of applying to the position. This call was just to pick a time and date for the first phone interview.
They first interview was a typical HR phone interview, they asked about my GPA, Talked about the position, asked if I was okay with all the traveling that is involved and so on. This took 10-15min.
I heard back from them within a day, and that's when we scheduled the second interview (this was also over the phone). From what I've read online this is the make-or-break interview (PFI interview). I worked my but off to prepare for this interview. The interviewer was very nice and polite, she started off by talking about herself and then started asking questions (see below for questions). The interview lasted 45mins and the next day I heard back from them telling me that I had moved on to the final round which was going to be 3 weeks later.
For the last interview I had to go to the Accenture office, where I met with the HR rep who asked me to fill out some forms. I was then escorted to the first 1on1 interview. The interviewer was a senior manager, he asked me a few questions similar to the second round interview (if you prepared well for the second round you shouldn't have a problem with these), but for the majority of the time I was asking him questions. I had prepared 7-8 questions so the time just flew by. Next I waited in a conference room while the next interviewer had a discussion with the first interviewer. The second interview proceeded in the same manner as the previous one. Both of the 1on1 interviews were very casual and more of a discussion.
I heard back from Accenture the following week with the offer which I accepted.

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 Mar 2009 in Vancouver, BC (Canada) (took a day)
Written test, tour, 3 stage process of interviews with 3 tiers of management. First interview had 2 people, 2nd part was the first stage's boss, and the last was the top boss of the 2nd interviewer. Asked some silly questions about their own company's smtp server address. Why would you need to know that before you started working there?

Interviewed Jun 2009 in Toronto, ON (Canada) (took 3 weeks)
This was a three-stage interview. I sent in my resume through campus job fair. I was contacted for an on-campus interview. It was behavioral type questions. Then after passing that interview, it was an onsite interview with two different interviewers basically asking the same type of behavioral type questions and that was it.

Interviewed Oct 2010 in Toronto, ON (Canada) (took 4+ weeks)
There were 3 rounds of interviews. They narrowed down the applicants based on resume and cover letter and if you got through, they invited you to a 1st round. This was done on my campus. It was simply a fit test. They want to see who you are, what kind of skills you have..why do u want to be a consultant and whether you can travel. It was only about 30 minutes long.
The second round was more intensive as you have to describe situations in detail and highlight skills such as problem solving, team work, multitasking, learning, etc. Use the STAR approach.
The third round was at the main office which in this case was in Mississauga. Its a nice office. Everyone was super nice. I think if you make it to this stage, you have a very good chance. The day consisted of 2 interviews, one with a senior manager or partner. The first interview, the interviewer actually told me she was here to convince ME to choose Accenture. The senior manager in the second interview seemed to really like me. I gave him advice on his iphone lol. He told me he was very impressed with my resume. I think they already have a good idea of who they are going to hire at this stage, so if it goes well you are likely going to get an offer.
Took less than a week to get an offer via email. I found the people at Accenture VERY welcoming and kind. Other firms like McKinsey and Deloitte that I interviewed with this year weren't as welcoming. However, they did help my interview skills and prep for my rounds with Accenture.

Negotiation Details
No negotiation I believe. I talked to HR and they said its a standard offer. You have to realize how competitive these consultant positions are. There are hundreds of people that would love to replace you. Work you're way up. Its like any other good profession. You have to start from the bottom.

Interviewed Oct 2010 in Vancouver, BC (Canada) (took 3 weeks)
The interviewers at Accenture do a great job of making you feel comfortable from the get go. Upon arriving at the interview site, which took place on a university campus, I was immediately greeted by someone from Accenture who chatted with me while I waited for my interview.
So far I've had two interviews. When doing these interviews, keep in mind that ultimately, they need to be able to trust you with clients. And you need to show that you can be.
1. The first interview is a basic screener interview. At this moment, they are probably fairly impressed with your resume and cover letter, and want to see you in person. They just want to make sure you are who you say you are. Be prepared to talk a little bit about yourself, talk about what you know about Accenture, and what you think the role you are applying for involves.
2. The second interview is a behavioural interview. In preparing for this interview, I Googled "behavioural interview questions", and made myself a mental outline of what I would say. As expected the interview was a series of behavioural interview questions. Obviously, when giving examples, pick the best example that tells more than what is being asked for. For example, if you are asked to give an example of a time you solved a problem, pick an example that shows you also have technical skills, presentation skills, interpersonal skills, product knowledge, etc....

Interviewed Oct 2010 in Calgary, AB (Canada) (took 1+ week)
Contacted by Accenture recruiter for a position within the company. I had previously applied for a different position and was not contacted for that position. Initial screening by recruiter easy - 30 minutes. Follow-up phone interview for behavioral situations. Easy - 90 minutes. Follow-up phone interview on skills based questions. Moderate - 60 minutes. Final interview in person, not considered a "formal" interview - chance to meet face to face and ask questions about the company. Verbal phone offer given 5 days later. Accepted, decided not to negotiate as it was a fair offer and the negotiation would delay the process by 2-3 weeks. Waiting for written offer currently. Orientation date in two weeks.
