I applied in-person. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Accenture (Singapur) in Nov 2009
Interview
Accenture have a strong interview process that includes a series of interviews with different levels within both the industry (eg. Financial Services, Oil and Gas, Telecoms...) specific to the role and function within the role (eg. Strategy Consulting). This method allows different perspectives of the interviewees talents from a growth, capability and delivery stand point.
The case interview is where most candidates stumble.... This is only really relevant for Management Consulting roles but was used throughout the company as a way to assess how a candidate thinks about certain business issues and how structured the answer is.
All round great interview process.... Long but structured......

The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Accenture in May 2011
Interview
I applied online. There was 1 presentation session (on the firm, its culture, etc.). It was followed by 2 interviews (1 + 2 hours) with the hiring Senior Manager. Then there was a personality test, as the basis for an interview with 2 representatives from the Human Resources department. After that there was an interview (including a case-study presentation) with the hiring Partner. All participants were very polite and professional. Unfortunately they meant that I was too ambitious for them, i.e. they felt that their bureaucratic structure and promotion practices would cause me to leave in future!
