I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Accenture (Cleveland, OH) in June 2009
Interview
It is a very extensive process which include 4-5 interviews. Typically they know what they are looking for and you will be able to tell fairly quickly if you don't fit the mold. Expect to talk to multiple people across a variety of topics both technical and interpersonal. At this level it is much focused on you involvement directly with client executives and your specific contributions in previous positions.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How long can you commit to staying with Accenture? Would you consider offers from competitors within the fist three years of being hired?
1 round with HR, 3 rounds of case studies (1 principal, 2 Managing directors). Themes of case studies are exactly related to the PiP type projects and situations and are sourced from direct experience of each interviewer
The interview process was professional and well organized. It started with an initial recruiter conversation to discuss my background, the role, compensation expectations, and overall fit. From there, I met with several leaders across the organization to discuss my experience with enterprise transformation, SAP delivery, program leadership, client management, and operating in complex consulting environments. The conversations were thoughtful and focused on both technical experience and leadership style.

Question 1
Tell me about a time you led a complex transformation program with multiple stakeholders and competing priorities.
Very sorry experience with unrelated questions. Interviewer was not able to put the interviewee at ease and tried to focus on what they could not bring to the table rather than what they could.
