I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Capco
Interview
I had 2 in person interviews. The first one was very nice. The second one was the snarkiest person I have ever had the misfortune to interviewed with. She constantly scoffed at and laughed at everything I said and, on multiple occasions, accused me of lying or being incorrect (e.g. when I said I wanted to learn technical skills like learning how to use numbers in Excel). She was very rude and overall did not make me feel welcome.
Examples:
Me: "So what kind of skills do you look for in an intern?"
Her: "*scoff* We don't just hire anyone."
Me: "......."
Her: "Do you have any more questions?"
Me: "I want to learn soft skills like presenting and talking to people and technical skills like learning about numbers thr---"
Her: "Ha that's not a TECHNICAL SKILL"
Me: "What?
Her: "What do you think a technical and soft skill is?"
Me: "A soft skill is like communication and a technical skill is like Excel or Coding"
Her: "Yeah. That's right."

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Capco (New York, NY) in Jan 2017
Interview
I did not progress past the phone screen, but the questions were mostly behavioral. They included questions that are typically involved in the consulting recruiting process including those involving team dynamics, working to resolve problems, and also interest in the field. The interviewer also asked me what I foresaw to be the most disruptive or prevalent issue to face the financial industry in the next decade.
