Interviewed May 2010 (took 5 days)
I previously worked for the firm. My experience was pretty straightforward. They didn't know which division I fit into after my industry experience, so I met with two different execs and fielded questions around my experience. The firm spent over $1,000 interviewing me when they could have kept costs to less than $100. Yeah. Both execs were from the Denver area, and we were all in San Francisco on a Friday.

I was an experienced hire and didn't negotiate. I was an idiot. Take this firm to the cleaners and I hope you already have a job so you can say, "Thanks, but not enough."

Interviewed Jan 2011 in Gurgaon, Haryana (India) (took 5 weeks)
The interview experience completely depends on the interviewer actually. I had to attend more than average number of interviews, for this position. Most of the time the rounds are pretty easy and straight forward, unless they are not very sure about you, in which case the questions might increase and become quite intrusive.

Interviewed Oct 2010 in San Francisco, CA (took 2 months)
Process:
1. I had a phone screen with an outside recruiter which was mainly focused on my background an willingness to accept a rather low salary
2. Phone screen with a consulting manger - Probed background and experience using a behavioral approach.
3. Invited to interview in California with a partner and two senior mangers. Focus of all three interviews was on knowledge, experience and fit. Part of the process was also to determine the appropriate level to start, Feedback was that interviewers felt a Sr. Manger position was the best fit. Feedback from internal recruiter was that there were no positions available at that level. Seems like a bit of a waste of time for everyone involved!

Interviewed Nov 2010 (took 2+ weeks)
The first interview was a phone screening with a recruiter which was basically to see if my experience fit the position and if I was interested in Accenture. The recruiter was very knowledgeable about Accenture and the industry of the position and very easy to talk to. At the end of the call she told me I made it to the next round and that a skills interview and behavioral interview would be scheduled.
The skills interview was over the phone with a senior manager who asked me very detailed questions about my experience. After the skills interview my recruiter called me and told me I had made it to the final round and scheduled a trip to New York for the final interview.
The behavioral interview was the day after my recruiter already told me I had made it to the final round and was over the phone with someone in HR. She asked me three behavioral "Tell me about a time..." questions and follow up questions for each scenario I provided. I had done research on this interview method and came up with several scenarios before hand to use for the interview. The next morning I received an email from my recruiter telling me that my trip to New York had been canceled because I didn't successfully pass the behavioral interview.

Interviewed Sep 2010 in Singapore (Singapore) (took 2 weeks)
Initial was called up by their HR manager to verify certain details about my resume that was uploaded to their website. A phone interview was then arranged because i applied for a full time position with them while i was studying overseas. Went through the next 2 phone interviews with a senior manager (Conversational interview), then with a HR manager (Behavioral). The last interview was a video interview with an associate partner of the firm, mostly conversational once more.

Interviewed Jan 2010 in Denver, CO (took 3 months)
Initial communications began in October, but interviews lasted through January. I interviewed with seven different folks. After my final interview it took HR three weeks to bring me into the firm.

Negotiation Details
Negotiation was limited due to poor economy. Accenture pushed back, even stating that the economy is not driving appropriate market salaries.

Interviewed May 2010 (took 2+ months)
First, you go through an online skills assessment procedure (language & numerical skills). Then you have an HR interview, it's basically just a background check, and to talk about the positions that interest you. If there is a match, you are selected for a case interview with a manager. The case is not specially difficult, but they pay attention to your analytical skills. If the manager is happy with what you showed, you eventually get a third interview with a senior executive that is going to give the offer.
