I applied through university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Accenture in Dec 2011
Interview
Many others have already mentioned the interview process so I'm not going to make you read the same story again. I do want to note that my second situational interview was only 30 minutes with 2 questions (plus sub-questions probing the details) even through most people here reported 45 minutes - 1 hour. I think it all depends on which interviewer you get.
The third interview is basically for you to learn more about Accenture and also for Accenture & yourself to figure out which areas in Technology consulting you are interested in. In my case, I already communicated to my recruiter before the interview which area I'm interested in and was interviewed by senior managers from that area. I think it may pay off if you know which area you are interested in before the inteview & let the recruiter know.
Response time for interview result has been great. Next day for the 1st round, 2-3 days for the second round and 3 weeks for the third round. Third round may be unusual because I had the interview a week before Christmas. Right before Christmas, my recruiter asked me to rank a couple alternative locations if my primary location choice isn't available. I heard back again a day or two after New Year that I would be receiving an offfer from another recruiter. I assume the delay in final decision is because of the holidays and because they had to find an alternative location. I ended up getting my first alternative choice.

Question 1
You need to know what you are signing yourself up for, I mean in term of lifestyle. I was constantly probed during the interview process whether I understand the travel & overtime requirements.
Entré por un programa llamado ISDI que recolecta recién graduados de la universidad, así que no hice ni entrevista, me dijeron a través de un llamada si estaría interesada en participar, dije que si, y poco después estaba entrando en un curso de dos meses de transformación digital con mis futuros compañeros de trabajo
I applied online. I interviewed at Accenture (Montreal, QC) in Jul 2024
Interview
It was very smooth and generally questions were from CV itself. One should be thorough with Cv and job description to answer those questions. They are looking for someone who is confident and can handle the challenges in job.

About the previous job experience and cross questions from there
Three interviews: 1. Fit interview, 2. Case interview and 3. Interview with unit lead. Fit interview was on my background and motivations. Case interview included standard problem-solving/market sizing types of questions. The interview with unit lead was more on my expectations with Accenture and the work I might be doing.
