Interviewed Apr 2009 in Los Angeles, CA (took 6+ weeks)
This was much more informal than you'd expect. After the HR interview, I had a couple of meetings with partners who seemed to be predisposed to hire me. The technical interviews seemed very cursory, but when you go in at a high level, they assume you know what you're talking about. It might be harder for entry level.

Interviewed Nov 2010 in Los Angeles, CA (took 5 days)
It was an on campus recruiting process. I got a first interview with them, which was very easy. First you were put into a big room and greeted by an employee. Other candidates are there with you and this was for you to ask questions. Then I had a 1:1 interview; I think it was to check to see if this is what you wanted to do.
A day later, I was invited back for a 2nd interview. This one was with a partner. It was behavioral. The person was friendly but don't be fooled. 4 hours later, I received an email saying they weren't moving me to the next step.

Interviewed Oct 2009 in Los Angeles, CA (took a day)
Very basic screening interview. I had worked with Accenture before, so it was basically where I am now versus where I was when I left the firm in 2001. The interviewer was pleasant, explained the changes in the firm since the beginning of the "Great Recession" and what the position was going to be.

Interviewed Nov 2009 in Los Angeles, CA (took 2 months)
I initially applied online through my University's Career Center Website (standard resume, cover letter, and unofficial transcript submission online).
Had my first initial interview (on-campus career center) 1 month later. It was very brief - 30minutes 1:1 interview with a manager (she'd just been promoted). It was very casual and essentially a very quick run-through of my resume. She picked out certain things I'd put down (some classes I'd taken over the summer, my previous internship experience, how I liked my major, etc). Then she gave me some time to ask her questions.
Was notified 2 days later via email that I'd made it to the 2nd round. The 2nd interview was scheduled for the next day (quick!) - exact same format as before (career center) except this time it was 1 hour instead of 30min. It was a 1:1 interview with a much higher-up manager. Mine had been with the company for 10 years. This interview was definitely way more intensive. She only asked 4 questions or so but really delved deeply into my responses - interrupting me several times per response ('hold on let me stop you right there..let's talk more about why ____") and she wrote down everything that I was saying.
This was definitely standard across the board for everyone (asking in-depth clarifying questions, interrupting every so often, writing down responses).
The questions themselves weren't so difficult but it's definitely worth preparing for so you don't waste time trying to think of a significant experience to talk about (the more recent the experience, the better) and you want to make sure you have enough to say.
For both on-site interviews, they had greeters in the lobby who had people they were assigned to talk to (answer any questions, provide general encouragement) - they were very nice and definitely don't pass up this opportunity to speak with them.
I was notified the following morning via email that I had made it to the final interview - which was going to be on-site, scheduled for the following week (Friday).
On Monday - everyone who'd passed to the 3rd round received an invitation to an Accenture meet-and-greet recruiting dinner. It was a very casual event where a number of Accenture employees (some recent hires and others who'd been with the firm for a long long time, and the recruiter) were all there to answer questions and also got to know us a little better.
For the final interview - once everyone had arrived at the office, all of us were given lunch and watched a brief presentation about the company put on by some of the employees. Then we all started our 2 back-to-back 1hour 1:1 interviews with executive manager/senior partners of the firm.
Each interviewer was given a sheet of paper with questions that they were supposed to ask - they were still behavioral but it was less intensive than round 2. They didn't interrupt and the interviews were more conversational. They spent a little more time talking about their background and experience with the firm.
For me personally, my first interview was a slam dunk - I really clicked with the interviewer although I could sense that he wasn't very satisfied with his job (he complained about having to still travel a ton to places that he didn't like even though he's been with the firm for more than 12 years).
My second interview was with a senior partner who decided to forgo the sheet completely and ask whatever questions that came into his head. I felt the sense right off the bat that he didn't click with me and had this elitist attitude that really turned me off - asking me questions like "what do you think we do on a daily basis" and "why consulting" and feeling the need to criticize my responses.
After both interviews, we all came back as a group and then were told that we'd hear back in 1 month.
Found out via email about 3 weeks later that I hadn't been given an offer (but I don't know anyone else from my school who did either - despite their great interview experiences).

Interviewed Oct 2009 in Los Angeles, CA (took 2 days)
The first round is basically just going over your resume. The second round consists of specific behavior questions. Overall, the experience was good. While waiting in the lobby, they have young consultants sit there and chat with you, which made the company more personable.

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.
