I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Boston Consulting Group (Chicago, IL) in Jun 2016
Interview
Applied online and received an email from a recruiter a couple days later requesting a phone interview. The phone interview was short and simple. Unfortunately, after speaking with the recruiter I knew I was overqualified for the position. My experience was better fit for an actual recruiter and not an assistant. Great thing, I received an email less than a week later informing me that the company was moving forward. I prefer that over the silence some firms will put you through for weeks without knowing where you stand in the interview process.

I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Boston Consulting Group (San Francisco, CA)
Interview
It was a first round interview - Pretty quick process. The recruiter asked me three situational questions and then provided me with the opportunity to ask her any questions I had. The recruiter was very friendly and answered the questions I had and allowed me to expand on them. I would practice answers to varying situations (describe a time when you...)

Question 1
Describe a time when you had a disagreement with a co-worker and how you resolved the issue.
I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Boston Consulting Group (London, England) in Mar 2015
Interview
I was invited to a first stage interview after being short-listed by an agency. The invite was very short notice as they wanted to fill the role as soon as possible. The two people I met were very friendly, professional and polite, they asked me mainly competency based questions. I felt I have a good connection with company structure and their values. Sadly there was no invite to a second round. Overall, very nice experience!
