I applied through college or university. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Boston Consulting Group (Madrid) in Oct 2016
Interview
Three step process, did the first two. Took place in their offices in Madrid. The first is a GMAT-style test, for mathematical and reasoning abilities. Not too hard, although highly unlikely to be finished in the time allotted.
Then two case interviews described further down.
Overall, the consultants took their time and were reasonably friendly. No feedback was given on the interviews however.

How would people describe you?
The online test needs preparation, simple mathematics but simple mistakes can be made, doing many samples is recommended and necessary. Did not make it to the next phase but i heard its just basic casing.
