I applied online. I interviewed at Accenture (Boston, MA) in Jan 2011
Interview
Extensive interview questions - Asked about previous experience. Experience on setting up IT architecture. Asked about experience on data warehousing. Three layers of interview - first by HR, then IT manager and by senior managers afterwards
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Explain your experience setting up IT infrastructure.
The interview was okay. The interviewers were people with many years of experience, so they knew what they and I were talking about. I was asked some competency based questions. I answered okay for the most part. But in some, I stumbled. I think that was the reason I was rejected.

Quello tecnico varia in base al progetto in cui dovrai essere inserito, tutto dipende dalla figura che te lo farà. Se è un tecnico allora può andar giù pesante, se è un funzionale ti chiederà le solite domande di teoria.
I interviewed at Accenture (Helsinki, Southern Finland)
Interview
Interview process had two separate rounds. One was more generic (and I guess "business"-oriented, although I think it was very generic) and second more technical. Technical interview consisted of questions regarding different software development areas, nothing special really.
