I applied in-person. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Kearney (London, England) in Feb 2012
Interview
Quite structured. Lots of brainteasers and market sizing questions. You should be familiar with typical consulting case questions. Interviewers are coming from diverse backgrounds and interview process includes employees from different countries regardless the office you apply for.

Question 1
Some highly difficult case study on Insurance diverging to Healthcare industry. The partner already had in mind some other candidate. Utter waste of time
I had Multiple interviews from Personal Fit and several Case interviews (final interview with partner). Interviews were remote and time was flexible. Had to the chance to get to know company “coffee call” before initiating interview process
There were 2 rounds of case interviews, after which I got the offer. First one was with partner, second with manager. Was quite straightforward and short (10-15 minutes each). Overall a good experience
