I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Boston Consulting Group (Boston, MA) in Feb 2016
Interview
I applied online for their summer position, making it through to the second round at the Boston office. The office has a great view and everybody there was pretty friendly. Both rounds of interviews consisted of two 1:1 interviews with different staff members. For the first round, each interview was 30-45 minutes, and had a "personality/general questions" part at the beginning and then a case. The second round was the same format but the interviews were 45-60mins each.
Multiple rounds with consulting case interview portions and fit portions. Each round of interviews had multiple interviews, and the interviewer gets more senior as you progress through the interview process
