I applied through a recruiter. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Accenture (Tokyo)
Interview
I first met with external headhunter (first on phone and then face to face), then met with Senior Executive (hiring Partner). She asked about my background and my past consulting projects and experience in the industry in details. She explained about her needs and future projects, and people or corporate culture. She asked me a lot about how I manage people, projects, accomplishments and difficulties dealing with clients and how I handle difficult situations. Then I was asked to meet the Senior Executive head in the firm (her boss). It was mostly social but he asked about my background and what kind of projects I worked on in the previous companies. He then explained current/future clients and projects, my family background and educational background, typical interview questions. I then met with HR as a formality. Very social style overall, and the entire process took about 1.5 months from the first contact to the offer stage.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What kind of projects did you work on? What were the toughest situation I faced in the previous consulting companies I worked for and how did I solve the problems? How am I perceived within the past companies I worked for (Mgmt. Consulting companies), and what do I think about how I am perceived to my colleagues or management? What are my weakness and strength, and how do they affect my life and my job? What am I doing to overcome those weaknesses? What are my short term and long term goals? What will I be doing in 5 years from now? What are my ultimate goals in life? Am I being interviewed by other companies, if so what kind companies are they? Why Accenture?

Great interview process with very personable recruiter and interviewers. Two online, one face-to-face interview. process. Took 4 months to go through though. Standard types of questions asked, no particular curve balls.

Question 1
Why Accenture (obviously), What does AI mean for X industry.... make sure you get feedback from your recruiter after each round
Too many rounds. Really like pulling teeth right now unfortunately. Made me fly in instead of just being remote for the second round but I guess that’s where we’re going now.
