Interviewed Feb 2012 (took 4+ weeks)
Got a call from an Accenture recruiter who went through a list of questions. She then passed me on to a peer for a technical interview. On successful completion of the tech interview, I went through a behavioral interview followed by interviews with 2 partners - the first over video call and the second over phone. Most questions were not that deep and and easy enough to answer. Not sure what exactly happened at the last 2 interviews but I did not get the offer. The recruiter hinted at not the right experience when I called her to debrief but I'm surprised it was not a red flag in the first 3 rounds.
Everyone I talked to was very professional and enjoyable to talk to.
Not that it matters but the salary we were discussing was lower that what I was discussing with other companies. So they do pay less than the competition.
Advice to other interviewing.. Make sure there's a good fit for the job if you don't want to waste your time and be prepared to go into detail about your job experience.

Interviewed Oct 2010 in Sacramento, CA (took 4 weeks)
Communication was initially in e-mail and then phone. Make sure to update information correctly using the online application as their search engine targets various words posted to the online application systems. Interview process is very thorough includes initial screening by recruiter, skills interview with one or more interviewers at same level or above level you're applying for and typically within the same organization structure. Also includes a behavorial/skills interview with a HR representative, typically non-technical in nature. And the 1:1 face-to-face, typically with the Hiring Manager and may or may not be in a panel setting, this interview is the hardest. People you'll meet during this process, typically have been with the company for long periods of time, indicating to me they are happy being with the company. And from what I've seen, it's because of the strong employee culture and customer service environment.

Interviewed Sep 2009 in Houston, TX (took 2 weeks)
Case Study for hypothetical merger integration engagement. Open ended questions about how one should integrate various pieces of the business ranging from sales to supply chain. Little if any questings test financial acumen or analytical skills. I believe I was selected for the intereview because my M&A experience. Accentures M&A practice appears to be geared to cross sell its core competancies if IT consulting, process improvement, supply chain management, etc. Interesting work, but not a great fit for someone like me with a financial and strategic planning background.

Interviewed Jun 2010 (took 4 weeks)
The interviewing process started out with a third party recruiter soliciting my interest in an opportunity at Accenture. Next, was two rounds of phone interviews with two different HR recruiters. These interviews focused solely on my resume, with the second interview being very redundant. I had a skills/fit interview with a Senior Manager. She talked more than I did. The interview went all over the place and seemed unstructured. Then she started blabbing on and on about how historically, experienced hires from industry have a hard time acclimating to Accenture culture, lack of work/life balance and intense job demands; after that, I knew that I would not be selected to move forward and they must have had candidates with consulting experience in the pipeline. I received an email the next day confirming this suspicion. If I would have made it past this point, I would have gone on to the "closing interview" where the job offer is made. With that said, Accenture's interviewing process is extremely inefficient, unstructured and lengthy. While no one like being turned down; I was able to quickly see being turned down by Accenture as a blessing at this point. As an experienced candidate with industry experience at the director level, I questioned why I would want to work for such a culturally inflexible organization that is not actively trying to make the on-boarding process better for experienced hires and retain talent with work/life balance programs. It seems that Accenture is missing out on a great opportunity to attract, hire and retain talent with real experience in the industries it professes to have leadership in.
