I applied through university. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Accenture (San Francisco, CA) in Oct 2014
Interview
Applied through college campus recruiting - I went to a target school so getting started with the interview process was easy: Submitted a resume through school website, went through first round (2 hours, 2-case and behavioral interviews), then went to the office for a final round (2-3 hours - 2 case and 1 hour behavioral). However, the interview process changes all the time.
