I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Boston Consulting Group (São Paulo, São Paulo) in Mar 2016
Interview
First, a logic test and an english one. Hard because of the short time you have to solve the questions (GMAT style).
Second, a round of 2 interviews. First half of them was a fit interview and the second a case interview. Not extremely hard, but can't do well without some previous practice.
Third and last, another round of 2 interviews with partners. The interviews are slightly different, because the partners don't bother too much about following a script.

Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Case interview standards, sometimes a bit abstract especially on partner level
3x case interviews, interviewee led, questions about experience and relevant background, always dig deeper to understand details eg on leadership experience. Cases vary all the time, need to ne ready for anything. Thinking js rewarded
Case interview about merger and acquisition
Was medium difficulty has a lot of brainstorming and analytical elements
Required quick thinking structuring and deep analysis to really ace it easily
Practice is def mandatory and failure to do so will lead to failure
