Interviewed Jan 2007 in New York, NY (took 3 weeks)
there were a total of three interviews. The first one was a background based where you talk to the interviewer about your interests and goals.
Second one is a behavioral one where you get questions about your experience.
Last one is one site. It lasts one full day. It's a way to get to know the company

Interviewed Nov 2008 in Boston, MA (took 4+ weeks)
I first interviewed during the on-campus interview process. Through the university job website I submitted my resume and cover letter for review. After a few days I was informed that I had proceeded past the initial screening for the first round of interviews. The first interview was on campus and was approximately 30 minutes long. It was pretty basic and consisted of the interviewer (who was an Accenture partner) going through my resume in some detail and asking me questions about previous experience, projects, courses, educational curriculum and other activities. I was then given time to ask my own questions about the company, people, job, etc. I was told that I would be informed if I would be invited for a second round interview later that day.
A few hours later I got a call indicating that I would have a second interview the next day. The second round interview was a behavioral interview, during which the interviewer (another partner) gave me difference scenarios and asked me to describe different situations in my past educational or professional experiences in which I had faced or how I dealt with those scenarios. For example, "Describe a time or situation in the past where you have had to make a difficult decision and what was the outcome?" and "Describe an experience in which you have made a difference by playing a leadership role?" The interview lasted for a bit over an hour, during which I was asked to describe atleast 4-5 different experiences, focusing on my role during each on. Again I was given time at the end to ask my own questions. Afterwords, I was asked if I would be available on a certain date about 2 weeks later.
About a week later, I believe, I was informed that I would have a third round of interviews on that date; I was told that the interviews would be at the Accenture offices and the day would be about 4-5 hours. I wasn't really given any other details. I was instructed to fill out the official online Accenture application. I was also called during that week through by a Senior Consultant to just chat and ask any questions I had about Accenture, the hiring process, culture, the people, work-life, and anything else I wanted to talk about. During the actual third round interview we (about 4 other people being interviewed) were invited to the Accenture offices and were greeted by the regional recruiter/HR person, and 2 other current Accenture analysts/consultants who had recently joined Accenture (worked there about 1 year). We sat down to lunch and were given a presentation about what it was like to work at Accenture, the benefits, the training program, travel, perks, etc. It seemed like a formal overview likely shown during recruiting sessions or to recent hires, but since it was such a small group the actual presentation style was pretty informal and we were encouraged to ask questions during the presentation. After lunch and the presentation each one of us met with 2 more partners for 2 separate interviews. There were several interviewers as all 5 of us were being interviewed simultaneously. The 2 interviews were also behavioral interviews with similar experiential types of questions but these interviews were longer (about 1 hour 20 minutes each) and with more time dedicated to my questions. At the end of this the HR person said we'd here from them within 2 weeks.
Three days later I got a call indicating that they were offering me a position but not in any of my preferred locations; the offer was only verbally indicated at this time. "Negotiations" relating to location went on for about 2-3 weeks until I finally got my written offer.
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
I was able to negotiate location. I wasn't really able to negotiate base salary too much, however I was able to negotiate my relocation bonus based on location. The only advice that I would offer is that don't settle for whatever location/office they want to stick you in. If there is not enough demand in your preferred locations (they will ask you for your top 3 in your interviews and in the online application), HR will try to stick you wherever there is an opening. If you are completely flexible where you live (ie. anywhere they have an office in the US) then that is fine, but if not then know where there offices are and work with your recruiter to have them scope out location options where you could see yourself.
Other Details
The interview consisted of a 1:1 Interview.

Interviewed Sep 2008 in Seattle, WA (took 2+ months)
I passed the three interviews and then they said they had a hiring freeze. i'll update my situation in a bit. The first interview was pretty easy, just some common questiosn about if you are a person or not. The second interview was one on one with a senior manager that was super nice to me. You have to find a way to be on their good side and they will vouch for you later as well. the third interview was at their office and it was a rotational interview with 2 sets of senior managers. They give you a mug and some gum. Then i waited and after a few days they emailed saying i got the offer, then afterward never responded and then finally told me my start date was pushed back indefinately. what a load of crap.

Interviewed Feb 2008 in Toronto, ON (took a day)
was with two people both one on one interviews. walked through my cv. questions were around experience previous engagements. the process is a complete hit and miss and depends on who you interview with and how desperate is the hiring situation. is dependant on marketplace. ofcourse your personality is important but market conditions play a key role.

Interviewed Mar 2007 in Los Angeles, CA (took 3 days)
Make sure you speak with the greeters, they will be the first thing you see when you walk into the interview. Talk to them about general stuff and just be personable.
During the interview, make sure you know your resume because they will break it down piece by piece and ask you questions that get you to the point. Study the STAR interview techniques to help you prepare. Do not lie, they'll find out really easily.

Interviewed May 2009 in London, England (took 4 weeks)
The application process consists of 3 parts, an online application form, a 45 minute competency based interview and a 2nd round interview.
The initial application form was thorough and asks for academic achievements, questions about Accenture and your motivation for applying to Accenture.
The first round interview was around 45 minutes in length and involved questions about your CV, some general competency based questions and a mini case study.
The second round interview consists of an in-tray exercise, a group activity, a case study and role play session and a final one-to-one interview.
Advice for the first interview: make sure you know about Accenture and reasons for applying as well as having a realistic view of what you will be doing day-to-day as an analyst.
Second interview: If you've got to this stage, you will have to do several exercises and a group activity. If you've got to this stage you've done pretty well, but you will to prove you are a well rounded person with problem solving abilities as well as being able to deal with others (in the group exercise).
As an analyst you will be expected to travel to client sites and Accenture will make sure that you are willing to do so in order to be successful here.
Interview Questions
You are given a booklet that has background information on a company and the views of some of the employees. Your job is to find the problems in the company and outline any solutions. You are given 20 minutes to study the information and make notes and then you will have a role-play interview where you will be quizzed on the problems and their solutions.
Other Details
The interview consisted of a 1:1 Interview and a Skills Test.

Interviewed Dec 2008 in Bangalore (took 2 weeks)
The Telephonic interview was done by an employee of Accenture who had much lesser experience on the technology that I was interviewed for and lesser experienced in general too. I was being interviewed for a senior position, but the interviewer was interested in some basic interview questions that does not really need experience to answer.
Nevertheless, I was only interested in a good pay package which I was not offered though I had totally impressed the senior delivery manager that I met 1:1 in the last round.
