Interviewed Dec 2010 in Minneapolis, MN (took 6 weeks)
Do not understand what are they looking for. I guess some "consultant" traits that I do not have. I do not think experienced industry or job function knowledge is as valued as the client management skills......pretty sure that the client pays to solve the problems effectively and effciently rather than to be "managed".

Interviewed Nov 2011 in San Francisco, CA (took 10 months)
Interviewed early for the internship - got through both rounds but no offer. Was promised a final round in the fall. The first two interviews were conversational, then behavioral. No real curve balls, just "tell me about a time when you..." Don't b.s., because they go pretty in depth for each question.
The final round, 10 months later, was a bit more grueling. It was two 1.5 hour interviews, which were pretty much whatever the interviewer wanted to ask. Questions were conversational, behavioral, and case-based (even though they apparently aren't supposed to ask case based questions).
The process was still very straightforward and not too bad.
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
Not able to negotiate salary even though I had another offer about 10k higher (banking). ACN 'calculates your salary based on your major, college, location, and position.
I was able to negotiate location from NYC to SF.
I really wanted the job, so I didn't negotiate too aggressively on the money.

Interviewed Oct 2011 (took 4 weeks)
Accenture's interview process has three stages. The first two are 1:1 case interviews and the third is on site at the Accenture bldg. You will probably have different interviewers for each case. I found them to be very fun. Be sure to talk through your process as you are problem-solving. Ask questions, get all the pieces. I made it through the second interview, but unfortunately was not offered a third. The second definitely had a different feel, just based on the interviewer's personality, I think. In structure they were very similar.
I was very certain that I could do good work for Accenture. I wasn't interested in any of the other big competitors. I really was invested in the process, and had been talking with current employees, following an acquaintance through the training process and had an employee referral. They have you apply online and via your school's career site, plus email you more information and video. It is a very involved process.
I tried to follow-up to at least get some feedback for moving forward in the job serach. I was unable to talk with my first interviewer (whom I connected with really well). After a few weeks of trying to get a hold of someone, I was able to talk to a coordinator on the phone only to learn that my interview is top-secret and that they cannot give candidates any feedback. That was disappointing, considering how much of myself I put into the process and how attached I had become to the company.
The people I know will tell you that it is hard work, especially in you first few years at the entry level. It is not for everyone. It is intense and requires traveling frequently. It is feast or famine. Accenture seems to have a great training system set up and also a nice structure that promotes hiring with in. For example, they only expect you to stay a consultant for a few yrs then move up. Each employee also has an advisor to help them find a good fit in the company. Overall everyone I met seemed hard-working, fun and very genuine.
If you can get in the door, I think it will be a great place to work. It will be what you make it. Definitely for self-starters.

Interviewed Nov 2011 (took 2 months)
Received an email about a position. I applied and a couple days later I was contacted by an HR rep. They discussed the company and the position that I was applying for. They also answered any questions that I had. They said that they would pass my name along but they werent sure because I didnt have much experience as I was fresh out of school. About 2 or 3 weeks later I was contacted via email and asked to schedule a technical phone interview. A week following the interview I was asked to come in for like a testing phase in which I would come and they would go over what they do and I would use their software so that they could see whether or not I could handle it or get use to it. I went in for 2 days of that for 3hrs each. About a week and a half later I was contacted and asked to schedule a closing interview. A few days after the closing interview I was contacted about an offer.
