I applied through college or university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Boston Consulting Group
Interview
First round started with computer based test to test quantitative skills (e.g. understanding of graphs and charts). Mainly simple calculations but with serious time pressure. Followed by a case interview. Second and third round were also case interviews with consultants of increasing seniority (e.g. consultants/PL in second round, Principal/Partner in final round)

Question 1
Personally the creative part of the case interviews were most difficult (e.g. what different opportunities does a retailer have to increase its revenues). The quantitative part was usually pretty straightforward.

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
