I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Arcadia.io (Burlington, MA) in Mar 2011
Interview
Submitted resume through website, thought I would get at least a first-round since I had work experience and education background in healthcare.
First step was a phone "fit" interview. Basic walk through your resume type questions.
Second step was a longer phone interview with two people on the line. They asked more in-depth questions about my background and how I act in certain situations. They threw in a typical consulting brainteaser like "how would calculate the cost to wash all the windows in San Francisco." Just break it down into measurable steps and be able to explain your logic. For this and the next step, I recommend reviewing case studies or a consulting prep book (which you should be doing anyway if applying to any consulting job).
Third step was in-person interview onsite. There were four stages, one-on-one, lunch, presentation and case-study. Really drawn out and took about 5-6 hours. Dumbest interview setup I have ever seen for entry-level college graduate. I've been to Hedge Fund interviews that take less time and stress.
Great people, but the interview process seemed pretty stupid. Culture was laid-back. Would recommend applying there.

I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Arcadia.io (Burlington, MA)

Phone screen first followed by on site interview by various staff. The on site consisted of a case study, analytical problem, and a presentation, each conducted by different pairs of employees.

Question 1
Analytical: there were a series of questions about the financial and economic differences between paying physicians a global rate versus fee for service.
Presentation: HR gives you the topic in advance.
I was hired through on campus recruiting. The process was very seamless. They did first round interviews at my school, then a series of interviews at their office in Burlington. The interview process was difficult, but very fair. I would recommend being prepared for both case and analytical type questions.

Question 1
I was surprised at the importance of the group case. I think this is particularly revealing about how each person will work in a group.
I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Arcadia.io (Burlington, MA)
Interview
Four interviews - 'Case', 'Analytical', Presentation and 'Social'. The case and analytical are simple versions of any case pratice you've ever done. The 'analytical' focuses on a quantitative approach to choosing a business solution and is very straight forward. The 'Case' focuses instead of more practice project management issues and is easy to walk through. The presentation is merely verbally relating how your resume relates to the job with a powerpoint and the social is just a business lunch.
