The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Censeo Consulting Group in Oct 2011
Interview
Censeo conducted its interviews during on campus recruiting at my university. To apply, I simply needed to submit a cover letter and resume through my university's job portal. After about two weeks, I received an email that invited me to informal coffee chats with two recruiters. We were told that fifty percent of those invited to the coffee chats would be granted a formal interview. The recruiters were very nice and answered a lot of my preliminary questions. A few days later, I learned that I had been granted an interview. The interview consisted of two parts that are standard to most consulting jobs: one part case-study and one part behavioral/skills based. The case interview was pretty straight forward. It did not involve any difficult math and was mainly about cutting costs. The second interview had two portions, The first half was behavioral so as long as you have a few stories to work off, it's really no big deal. My only struggles came with the second half of this second interview. It involved analyzing graphs and charts. Based on the question accompanying these items, I made the mistake of thinking I needed to make calculations. Instead the purpose of the exercise was merely to demonstrate your ability to pick on trends. Don't make the same mistake! I didn't receive an invitation to move on to the final, but if I had, it would have taken place at their office in DC.
One last thing to note: Even though I did not get the job, the recruiter was kind enough to respond to email regarding things to work on.

I applied online. I interviewed at Censeo Consulting Group in May 2021
Interview
Seemed like a great opportunity. Just had a first round interview that went seemingly well. However, the HR person called 15 mins late. At the end of the interview, I was offered a second round and promised an email explaining more of the case studies and topics covered within the following 3 business days. After a few weeks of silence, I was denied. Had I not been given an empty promise, this process would have been more professional.
