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.
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
Negotiation was limited due to poor economy. Accenture pushed back, even stating that the economy is not driving appropriate market salaries.
Other Details
I got the interview through an Employee Referral and the interview consisted of a Phone Interview and a 1:1 Interview.

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.

Interviewed May 2008 in London, England (United Kingdom) (took 2 months)
Applied online.
Initial phone interview with a senior manager, basic CV walkthrough and some general questions.
Second interview was in two parts. First was with a Senior Executive, walked through a simple case study and then general questions around my experience, project management skills, customer facing skills, work approach etc. Second was with a HR person who rushed through general competency questions.
Whole process was quite slow, it took a long time to organise each interview.

Interviewed Mar 2010 (took 2 days)
Talked with a recruiter on the phone to go over experience/resume so recruiter could identify Accenture industry groups that may be interested in bringing you on board. Next call is with a senior partner who asked some behavioral questions (tell me about a time when you accomplished something difficult on a team ...) and other questions to probe why interested in Accenture. Third phone call was a case. Wish I could tell you what comes next ... Some advice for your case, however, even if you have done what you're being cased on - don't forget to answer in a structured format (objective? quantify! why doing this now? here's my approach ...) and be creative.

Interviewed Mar 2010 in Stockholm, Stockholm (Sweden) (took a day)
Had three interviews, two 1:1 interviews and one 1:2 case interview.
Open and friendly work culture. The interviews were held by their consultants and some of them were inexperienced and nervous.
Just relax and try to connect to the ones interviewing since you'll work with them if you get an offer. If you're a graduate, activities outside school is very important. If you have had a period where you have only focused on your studies you shouldn't mention it.

Interviewed Nov 2009 (took a day)
I had a first round 30 minute interview with Accenture. You pretty much just need to walk through your resume and have a 4-5 questions ready to ask. At the university recruiting level, you will probably interview with a partner. After the first round you have a 45 minute interview. Following that, you may be interviewed for a full day interview at their office. This year they began having a basic simulated case for part of the interview, but I didn't advance to that point.

Interviewed Mar 2008 (took a day)
We had a meeting where we spoke about my skills, the position and what I could offer. They reviewed my CV and grades from the university, and we spoke about what I've done earlier. The guy who interviewed me did it in a relaxed way, but was very critical. Be prepared to answer difficult questions.
