Interviewed Apr 2010 (took a day)
Went to a career fair and spoke to recruiter. The next day she emailed me and asked when I would be available to talk. I called her that day she asked some preliminary questions of what I currently do? current salary? salary range? why i want to leave my current job? Then she scheduled an interview that week at the Reston, VA office. I met with a PM he just asked about my skills and why I was looking. After that met with the Senior Exec and it was basically me asking all of the questions. Went smooth said I would hear from te recruiter by next week. Received an offer and accepted.

Interviewed Aug 2011 in Vienna, VA (took 3 days)
Applied online and got an e-mail the next morning to schedule a phone interview. Was contacted by HR and talked for about 30 minutes about why I'd be a good fit, what did I know about the company, etc etc. A lot of standard interview questions. We then went over the rest of the interview process and scheduled a time for me to come in for an in-person interview, but I eventually declined and canceled that because I had received a job offer from another company.

Interviewed Jul 2010 (took 1+ week)
Bunch of personality questions. Also a lot of them just talking about the position and the requirements. Few general behavior questions but none to be concerned about. More of a conversation about resume and ambitions than a formal interview. Very straightforward and nothing to worry about. I conversed a little via email with the interviewer about some questions I had before deciding it was not for me. My best advice would just be sound excited and knowledgeable about the company. If they called you they must like your experience so one should not fret too much.

Reason for Declining
Was a little overqualified and had other options. Not a bad gig but just was not for me.

Interviewed Jul 2011 in Reston, VA (took 3 weeks)
1st step in the process was the phone recruitment. The HR person goes into detail, asking about your resume, and why you would be a great fit for Accenture. If you pass that then you move onto the,
2nd step which was a skills interview with one of the higher ups. The person basically talks about the position at hand, and asks what you could bring to the table given your previous experience. This lasted about an hour.
The 3rd step, and probably the hardest, was the behavior interview. Best way to prepare for this is to research questions. None of them were tricky (probably because I prepared beforehand), but this is the toughest part of the interview. I was later told, this is what they use to weed out most of the applicants for the position. So do your best and prepare for it.
4th and final step, was two face to face interviews. One with a senior manager, and another with someone else on the team you'd be working with. Pretty simple, straight forward questions. To me this 4th interview just seemed like a way for the team to meet you and make sure you didn't come across as some nutjob. Like I stated before, if you pass the behavioral interview, I think you have a fantastic shot at securing the job.
HR contacted me 4 business days later and made me an offer.
Overall a tremendous experience. Everything was straightforward, and the woman at HR who helped me was delightful. She called me after every step, and made sure to accommodate me the best she could.

Interviewed Jan 2011 in Reston, VA (took 3 weeks)
I first had a phone screening with a recruiter and was then scheduled for another phone interview which lasted for 1 hour. I made the final round and flew out to the office and met with 4 different people (from each stage of the position) and the total time at the office lasted 4 hours. The questions asked varied from behavioral to technical.

Interviewed Jun 2010 in Reston, VA (took 3 weeks)
Applied online and went through an initial phone screening. Second round interview was also over the phone and consisted 4 situational questions. The final step of the process was a live interview at the office where you meet with 4 other employees (analyst, specialist, manager, and senior manager). Live interview lasted roughly 3-4 hours mainly going through your resume, although one was another situational interview, giving examples to five scenarios.

Interviewed Apr 2010 in Chicago, IL (took 2 weeks)
A HR rep called me two days after I applied. She asked simple questions about my resume and why I was interested in the position. This step was very easy and at the end of the interview she said someone else in HR will contact me for the next step.
The second and final interview was a in person interview. I met with three separate Accenture employees. They asked some simple behavioral questions and a couple accounting questions. I did very well with the behavioral questins and so so on the accounting questions. All of the Accenture employees were very easy to get along with. The key is to be yourself.
About a week after my final interview they extended a offer.

Because of the terrible job market, I will happily accept the offer without negotiation. It was a solid offer.
