I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Boston Consulting Group (London, England) in Feb 2015
Interview
2 rounds of interview, the first also containing a maths test. All held in London, with travel reimbursed. Some challenging people applied for the role at the same time, and the atmosphere was certainly nervous, but a good experience and very well run

Question 1
Tell me about a time you disagreed with a room of people and changed their mind.
I applied through college or university. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Boston Consulting Group (Seoul) in Jan 2012
Interview
Experience was good. Phone call interviews followed by onsite interviews. In terms of the experience, everything was pretty textbook. If I were going to recommend anything you can do to prepare, I would suggest taking some time to research online and then reading some books on practicing case methods and cultural fit interview questions. These seemed to be important.
I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Boston Consulting Group (New York, NY) in Feb 2011
Interview
Resume screen followed by two rounds of interviews. Round 1 consisted of two on-campus interviews - one with a Consultant, one with a Project Leader. Each interview was 5-10 minutes of fit questions and 25-35 minutes of case interviews - cases were in-depth analyses, not brain teaser or market sizing style questions. I was notified I had been invited back for a second round the night that I completed my first round. They took place 2-3 weeks later at the office I was interviewing for (NYC). The second round consisted of three interviews - one with a Project Leader and two with Partners. Cases were much more open-ended / nebulous, and far more time was spent getting to know me and asking for questions. I was given my offer the very night I finished my interviews.
