Interviewed Jan 2012 (took 4+ weeks)
There are four standard interviews- recruiter, skills, situation, and in person. The interviews were timely and efficient. The recruiter was helpful in describing walking me through the process. The types of questions were not out of the ordinary. However, the structure of the interviews makes it difficult to move beyond a question answer format.

Interviewed Nov 2011 (took a day)
Instead of giving a profit case study organization, he gave a human resource organization case. If a business decides to reorganize its business model, how would you get employees adjusted to this new business model? The obvious answer was training programs, though I'm not sure what framework I would use for the case. Interviewer was a senior vp.

Interviewed Jun 2009 (took a day)
The phone interview was a standard phone interview (no surprises), however, the HR team did not seem very helpful in trying to help me find a position that would have been a good fit for the company and for me. They were just looking to fill that position. Since there was not a salary listed on the Consultant role I applied to, the salary offer was 10% less than what I was currently making. I took this as very disrespectful and when I asked about other positions that would be along my skill and salary level, they told me to search the website.

Standard process. 2 phone interviews, one with HR, one with a person from the practice where you are being considered. After that, you're invited for a 3rd round in-person, typically with another Senior Manager and a Partner. If all goes well, you should get an offer within a few days.

No. But I should have. To those applying - they honestly need people BAD. They are bleeding resources. Just keep that in mind when they make you an offer - because you can easily get an extra 5-15K just by asking.

Interviewed Jan 2010 in New York, NY (took 2 days)
Got interviews through the career center at my school. First round consisted of 3 one on one interviews. All case. Accenture was a bit different from some of the other consulting firms (i.e. BCG, AT Kearney, Deloitte etc.) in that they did not give "textbook" cases. They drew from real life experiences and asked how you would structure the problem and solution. Still very case-like.
Id say its most important to make a connection with the interviewer. If you're successful, you'll basically have a conversation about the work they did.

No negotiation. The offer was solid, very competitive. Sometimes they give an option for location or the work you'd like to be doing. Pick a location and type of work that is good for you.

Interviewed Jan 2009 (took 2+ weeks)
I was applying for a consultant position, but they decided to give me a Analyst position on the phone because I don't have enough year of experience in Java. The phone interview consists most of behavioral questions such as your strength and weakness. Then they flied me to Austin and had two 1:1 interviews. Pretty much, they just asked about my experiences, nothing much since there is not much to ask for. Then I have a phone interview on-site with a remote manager, and all he wanted to hear from me was that I am willing to relocate and travel. Then there was either Personality or Skills test.
