I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Accenture
Interview
3 step process
Step 1: For me it was very short and the interviewer actually talked for more than I did. They asked me some basic questions about myself but nothing crazy.
Step 2: For me it was a phone interview, at first it started with the obvious, tell me about yourself. Then he also asked about a major challenge I've overcome, a problem I've had to troubleshoot, an unpopular decision I made and how I handled it, and about conflict within a team.
Planned and Prepped well ahead of time and used the STAR method to respond.
Step 3: Final round, tbd

Interview
Applied to the position through my university career center. First interview was a screening interview where the interviewer discussed my background, interests, goals and what my interest in technology consulting was.
The second interview was at the Accenture office. This was a classic behavioral/fit interview where I was asked to describe various situations I have been in and how I dealt with them.
The final interview was also at the Accenture office. This consisted of a presentation from current Accenture analysts/consultants, two behavioral interviews with Senior Executives/Managers as well as a lunch with all interviews involved.
Overall, the interview process was very friendly and comfortable. They really tried to let you get a good knowledge about the company, the work and the people and what you should expect if you join.
