Interviewed Apr 2011 in Gurgaon, Haryana (India) (took 5 months)
Contacted by consultancy firm to forward my profile to Accenture, hence technical round is scheduled. I have cleared 3 rounds taken by Accenture team, in which the third round was happened twice, just because there is no co-ordination between Accenture HRs. One person is dealt by more than 3-4 HRs, with no communication between them. Last round of interview happened in April, and after its completion, accenture didn't updated anything about whether I cleared the round or not. I got update once on telephone that now I am in offer stage but they're looking for immediate joinees, which I already told them in beginning that my notice period is 3 months and i cannot join immediately. I have been updated by consultancy (Sourceone) that I am in "Offer Pending" status.
Few days back, I've been told by consultancy that they don't have opening in Gurgaon location, hence I opted for Pune one. Now after 2-3 weeks, I contacted directly to one of Accenture HR, and got the reply that as of now they don't have openings matching with my profile. If they don't have then why did they wasted my time. After selecting and confirming my status as "Offer Pending", they neither updated me, nor contacted me, and now postponing offer. it's already completing 5 months now.

Interviewed Jun 2010 in Mumbai (India) (took a day)
There is nothing special to prepare for the interview. We need to just stick up with the things that we have done in our current organization and previous organization/s. Express it in a systematic way. Like what you have done in your past with the organizations, What role you have played.

Interviewed Aug 2008 in Mumbai (India) (took a day)
Received a call to appear for a test after uploading my resume on the portal. On the day of the written test around 20 candidates were shortlisted from the 500 who had come to give the test. Since the number of candidates were less they directly sent each one of us for a technical interview and then an hr interview. Technical interview consisted mostly questions from skills mentioned on your resume and typical hr questions during hr intervies were asked.

Interviewed Feb 2010 (took 2+ weeks)
1 - Phone interview from HR
It's more like checking if you are still interested in the position and expected salary.
2 - Technical Interview
It can be considered quite technical and be prepared to write some code, diagrams and queries.
3- Closing Interview
It is short and nothing much about technical stuff.
