Interviewed Jan 2010 in New York, NY (took 2 weeks)
There were 3 interviews. The first was a phone screening interview. The second was a phone interview and was more technical in nature. This focused on what I knew about different functionality in SAP, have I used it, etc. It also touched on problem solving within a project management context. The 3rd interview was onsite with one of the partners. Very straight forward stuff.

I had a phone interview first with a member of HR. This lead to the next phone interview with a person who does only behavioral interviews. This was your standard tell me a time when questions. The next phone interview was with a manager in the operating group i would join and they asked me specific questions about my skill set for the job.
The last inteview was 1:1 in the office with 2 senior managers, but it was more of a handshake get to know you meeting.

Interviews were great. Accenture has excellent people and hiring processes in place. Interviews are largely focused on behavioral responses, however skill set is vitally important. Interviews have done there research on your the interviewee's skill prior to extending an interview. Be prepared.

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 Mar 2008 in New York, NY (took 4 weeks)
I applied online to a listing posted on my business school's career website. Accenture contacted me saying that I was selected for an interview and we set up a 1st round interview. I had 2 first round phone interviews which were part behavioral, but mainly each was a case. After those 2, we set up a day of 2nd round interviews at the NY office with comprised of 3 interviews (over 3 hours), all of which included cases. The office was nothing special, and none of the people I interviewed with were from the NY office. The styles were different from person to person, but that was more a function of the people than of the process. From a straight, formal case interview, to a conversation about behavioral questions with a mini-case and a more informal case discussion with a Sr. Exec.

I was weighing the offer against a non-consulting offer, so the question for me was more about consulting or not, not Accenture or not.

Interviewed Nov 2008 in New York, NY (took 2 days)
Attended ACN presentation 4 weeks before the interview to understand the company and how they work. First round interview was a 1:1 with a Manager on my college campus. After reviewing my resume, I was asked to describe classes I have taken and work completed. Reviewer was jovial and we spoke about interests in various industries.
Second round was also on campus with a Senior Manager. Similar to the first, the interviewer asked me to describe projects I worked on and difficult experiences regarding my senior design business proposal.
Before the last interview ACN had a recent college grad from my school contact me and ask me if I had any questions or concerns. The interview was on an ACN site. It started out with a group presentation and lunch and was followed by two meetings with senior managers. Same basic interview style as the interviews above. No case studies were discussed.

Interviewed Mar 2007 in Florham Park, NJ (took 2 days)
The hiring process is fairly detailed with several key steps in the interview process. The primary focus of the interview process is to ensure the candidate will fit in the company both in personality and ability to delivery among various situations. Once a candidate is selected, he or she will have an approximately 30 minute phone interview. This acts as a screener to ensure the candidate understands what consulting and Accenture are. The next step is generally a 45 minute, 1:1 interview. This is a classic behavioral interview (ex. Tell me about a time where you...). After that, there may or may not be more 1:1 interviews during an office visit to ensure one last time that the candidate will fit the dynamic of the firm.

Negotiation Details
No negotiation took place. Their offer was reasonable, and my understanding going into the interview was that Accenture does not negotiate their salaries.
