I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at ClearView Healthcare Partners (Newton, MA) in Oct 2012
Interview
Recruited through on-campus interviewing program. First round was a 30-minute market sizing question about diabetic macular edema. Final round was in office and included lunch with part of the team, 45 minutes with an analyst (market sizing and some fit), 45 minutes with a senior analyst (marketing a drug and some fit), 45 minutes with a principle (mostly free-form case about a current project), and 45 minutes with a partner (totally amorphous questions with lots of pushback).

Question 1
Why did Lipitor, the fourth or fifth entrant into the statin market, become the best selling drug of all time? What are some strategies they may have used? Which of these could have actually attributed to their success?
I applied online. I interviewed at ClearView Healthcare Partners (New York, NY)
Interview
1 behavioral and 1 case study interview. Behavioral were common questinos: Why consulting, why Clearview, intro, a time you problem-solved, a time you worked with a difficult person. The case study was rushed, and it felt like someone was breathing down my neck. Market sizing and suggestions as to what actions the client should take.
Heard back the day after the deadline to schedule first round interview. 1 behavioral and 1 case. Then heard back within 2 days to schedule the final round which consisted of a strategy case and scientific discussion. Heard back within 2 days that I didn’t get the position. Quick response times and friendly people.
First round was a case interview with a consultant directly followed by a behavioral interview with HR. Behavioral questions were typical ones like "tell me about a time you made mistakes." Overall very respectful and pleasant conversation.
