I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at EAB
Interview
I was referred by an employee of the company, got contacted two weeks after that to set up a phone interview. A week after the phone interview got a polite formal rejection email. I wasn't a great fit for the company, so I'm not surprised.

I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at EAB (New York, NY) in Nov 2016
Interview
Very pleasant interview and exchange between myself and recruiter. First call was interview with recruiter; in several weeks they followed up with a writing assignment followed by another phone interview and case study.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at EAB (Washington, DC) in Nov 2015
Interview
The process took less than two weeks. Starts with a phone screening and then 3 case interviews and 3 behavioral interviews in the same day. Pretty straightforward. If you have prepared for consulting cases before, you should be set.
