Interview
First, I interviewed with a person from HR. That was relatively innocuous and what was to be expected. Afterwards, the following day, I had an interview with a Partner and, in the afternoon, another with a senior consultant. The interview with the partner was absolutely horrible. I swear he wouldn't have been less surprised that I had the gall to be applying than if I had asked to marry his daughter. After berating me for applying for that position at 34 years old, and telling me how busy he is, he let me go with a sigh of despair. I felt like a school child who was yelled at by a director. Never have I felt more uncomfortable and out of place than after that horrível experience. Afterwards, the interview with the senior consultant went OK. Usual quant questions that I have seen here before, such as measuring 7 minutes with an hourglass of 3 minutes and one of 11, etc.

Multiple steps: first interview asking general questions, such as weak and strong pounts. Second round: multiple questions of k-level thinking and rational decision. A short inquiries on game theory and simple game in rather chilled atmosphere, without explicit time pressure.
