I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Mercer (Milwaukee, WI) in Mar 2011
Interview
4 rounds of 3 panel interviews. Interview questions were fairly very broad behavioral questions, they were more interested in references and what appeared on my resume. Many of the interviewers did not ask questions or were hesitant to do so. After working there, I learned that almost anyone can request to be on the interview team.

Question 1
Tell me about how you'd handle a stressful situation.
Met some great People, the entire process was two rounds. It was first a Hirevue, than an HR chat, and then a super day. Mainly behavioral, would recommend learning about the company.
They had me do an online video interview where it asked questions and then it recorded my answers. It was pretty standard sort of questions for this sort of position.
2 rounds of interview, both with a senior consultant. The interview took 4 months, was asked some technical and fit questions. We discussed salary expectation and other opportunities within the firm.
