I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Accenture in Mar 2008
Interview
I had my first interview with the HR person. It was general questions. About my experience, whether I am technical or functional, management, salary expectation etc.
Then the next interview was with a technical manager. He asked me some Oracle Apps specific questions but very simple.
The next interview was situational/behavioral interview. Same old questions......give me an example of a difficult situation and how did you handle it, how do you deal with an irate client etc etc.
The next round was face to face interview with a Senior Executive. She asked me about my background, what career path I was interested in, asked about my previous company etc etc.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Behavioral question - Describe a project or idea that was implemented primarily because of your efforts. What was your role? What was the outcome
Very long recruiting process with 3 different stages, screening > manager > senior manager. There is a Business Case in the second interview. The BC is half an hour and is a MBB style BC
Screener conducted for an open role, but then the role was paused, not sure of the need, unclear result. Recruiter was nice enough, but unclear of the need. Stayed in touch for a few months and ultimately closed the lead.

Interview
The recruiters are notoriously tough to get into contact with. My first scheduled interview, the recruiter did not show up. I then had an interview that I thought went excellent but head silence for 2+ weeks until the recruiter ultimately told me they were no longer searching for the position in a mass email. Although my experience has a negative outcome, I'd heard from connections that recruiters are often not very responsive and they had been surprised to still be in the running after not hearing from recruiters for weeks.

Stand questions, why do you want to work here, ect.
