I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Boston Consulting Group
Interview
I came in for a first round interview, which was two sets of interviews involving the standard interview questions plus a case for each. One case involved trying to figure out how to improve the snack profits of a supermarket (namely, what was the root cause of the profit issue and how to improve it), and the other involved trying to figure out a similar thing for a whiskey company. The root causes were different in each case.

Question 1
We have a company which is seeking to improve its profits on whiskey, which have declined in recent years. How can we improve our client's market share?

Two back to back interviews. Each consisted of 15 minutes of behavioral questions and 30 minutes of a case study. One interviewer was more senior and asked harder hitting questions with a more challenging case. The other was more straight forward.
