I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Boston Consulting Group (Madrid) in Sep 2016
Interview
Two rounds of two 45-min interviews each. All of them following the same structure: 15-20 min personal questions followed by a 25-30 min case study. Two of the cases were qualitative and the other two were quantitative.

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
