I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at ZS Associates (Princeton, NJ) in Oct 2015
Interview
First part was on campus. It was a 2 part interview where one was a case study and the other was a basic behavioral. For the case study they give you information about the client and the situation and ask you a few questions. During the behavioral part, they asked a lot of questions about working in a group and leadership. The final round interview was at the office in Princeton and was a 5-hr interview with 5 different parts including lunch. Two of them are case studies, one behavioral, and the other part was just a demonstration where someone shows you and explains a project they are working on. Overall it wasn't a difficult interview. I got nervous and messed up on the behavioral part but for the most part, people are really nice and friendly there.

There were 2 Interview Rounds- Technical and HR. Technical Interview basically focusses on Technical qualifications of the candidate as well as proper questioning related to it. HR Round was not so different for me. The interviewer sort of asked same technical questions along with some logical algebraic problems to solve.
