I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Accenture (Sacramento, CA) in Mar 2009
Interview
Interview process consisted of an initial screening interview by HR -- Simple questions and fact checking.
From there, interview consisted of 4 separate 1:1 phone interviews with whom would be my supervisors and one peer. Depending on who I was talking to (and their style) these interviews asked for my experiences, examples from past positions, where I have had successes, etc... This was also my opportunity to ask about the position. What is important to them. This was useful in my information gathering process and in future interviews.
I then had an in-person interview by the Managing Director in the office for which I was being hired to. Conversational in nature. It was more me listening. He wanted to talk about the company and what has/hasn't worked. I think he was also trying to get a sense of if I would mesh with the team and philosophy.
I also had a behavioral interview which should have lasted 1 hour but went for nearly 2 hours. Questions like: "tell me about a time where you had to", "what would you do if", "have you ever had to"...type of questions. They want you to explain it in full detail. Prepare for this. Sometimes it is hard to recall every details of what happened 5 years ago. Come prepared with a few examples of teamwork or having to make a tough decision, or something that shows your moral compass, etc...

Interview
The interview process I experienced was highly efficient, making it enjoyable. However, I did encounter delays in receiving feedback, which affected the overall flow and communication of the process. Once there was feedback, everything started moving fast.
Started with a company recruiter, then had 2 rounds of interviews with different managers, finally had recruiter wrap up conversation. Was extended offer but chose another offer. Was good interview process, not too long and timely between interviews

I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Accenture in Apr 2024
Interview
There were two interviewers in this call. At the beginning one of the representatives said few words about the company and the agenda of the call. I found the intro about the company way too long - around 10 minutes. This time could be spent to describe the role better. When the interviewer came to this point it came out that the role described on their website was pretty different.

There were few standard question posed and one about my home country and which theater I found the best there, which I found strange and out of context.
