The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Arcadia.io (Boston, MA) in Jan 2011
Interview
Overall the interview process was a good one compared to other companies. I first had a phone screen done by a consultant - it was more about my background experiences. I had a second phone screen a week later with another consultant. This one was more about fit and interests. At the end he asked a short brain teaser questions - how many ping pong balls would fit in a plane. With all brain teaser questions, ask questions and talk it out.
After that they wanted to bring me out to Boston for an in house interview. Took a while to set up because of winter break. This interview consisted for 4 parts:
Presentation - a short powerpoint on how you would make a great fit with Arcadia Solutions.
Case Study - A short case on a team that is in disarray because a boss left.
Analytical Case - Comparing two different health care plans - lots of number crunching. Nothing specific about health care since they give you all the information.
Lunch - a group lunch with two other consultants.
Overall it was a great process and was great meeting everyone there. One tip I would give with any case study would be to talk it out and work with your interviewer to formulate a final answer.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Arcadia.io (Burlington, MA)
Interview
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.
