Interviewed Mar 2011 in San Francisco, CA (took 4+ weeks)
The process was broken up into 3 stages.
I received a call from a recruiter on a Monday and was told about the basic layout and when to expect a final interview if I should make it to that stage.
I was scheduled for a first round interview on Friday of the same week. It was a short discussion followed by a 1 hour case interview (the case started off as a factor question and moved onto a purely numbers case). I found out that I had made to to the next round by Wednesday of the following week.
It took another 2 weeks to schedule the next round. This interview was scheduled for a Monday. It was purely a case interview with no behavioral section. It was a market entry case. I found out that I had made it to the final round the next day...which was scheduled for Friday of the same week.
This final interview had 3 sections: 1 behavioral interview for an hour, 1 case interview for an hour, and a 1 hour information session. It seemed like if you had made it to this stage of the interview and they were willing to spend 3 hours of their time, the job was yours to lose.
I found out I got the job 2 weeks later.
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
The offer was very fair and it came with a signing bonus. I was happy so I didn't see the point in negotiating. I don't think there is much room for negotiating unless you are brining something really special to the table.
Other Details
I got the interview through an Employee Referral and the interview consisted of a Phone Interview, a 1:1 Interview and a Skills Test.

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 Mar 2010 in Berkeley, CA (took 2 weeks)
I first met the company at a recruiting fair, where they took my resume and told me to apply online through the recruiting website. After doing this, I was contacted for an on-campus interview, which was entirely behavioral and lasted roughly 30 minutes. The person was more concerned with my community service than with my work experience. After that, I had a situational phone interview, which consisted of me discussing problems that I have faced recently and how I have overcome them.

Interviewed Feb 2010 in San Francisco, CA (took 3 days)
I've only hit the first round of the interviews for this position. A friend referred me and I got an email setting up a time for a first interview. The first interview was over phone. She started telling me a few nice little facts about Accenture. She then asked me to go over most of the stuff on my resume. She really liked the extracurricular activities I had (ie society of women engineers) and asked me about 2 out of the 4 jobs on my resume and to talk about them a little bit. The only other question she asked me was why I wanted to work for Accenture. Pretty standard.
The first interview they just want to make sure you are who you say you are and just go over basic things. She set up the second interview at the end of the phone call and said it was going to be a 1 hour long 4-5 question behavioral interview. Will post how that goes......but haven't made it past the 2 interview yet.
