I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Boston Consulting Group (San Francisco, CA)
Interview
Very difficult interview process, but also well organized and with smart/interesting interviewers. Phone screen, followed by first round with two back to back cases, and final round of two cases (but with partners). The case questions elicit a balanced blend of creativity and analytical rigor. Calculating percentages in your head is key, as is structuring a problem quickly and clearly.

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
