Interviewed Oct 2011 (took 4+ weeks)
First two interviews were phone interviews with cases. Pretty standard stuff, if you're prepared you should be fine. Final round is an office visit with an information session, a case with an executive, and a fit interview with an executive. Got my offer two days later.

Interviewed Nov 2010 in San Francisco, CA (took 3 days)
First round: A typical resume screening. 25 minutes, just a conversation running down the key points of your resume.
Second round: Totally behavioral. A lot of "tell me about a time" questions. This one's 45 minutes, and be prepared with lots of stories about how you "thrived in a team setting" or "overcame adversity".
Third round: Two interviews at the client site - a senior manager and a senior executive. If you've made it thus far, you've probably already landed the job.

Interviewed Mar 2011 in San Francisco, CA (took 4+ weeks)
The process was broken up into 3 stages.
I received a call from a recruiter on a Monday and was told about the basic layout and when to expect a final interview if I should make it to that stage.
I was scheduled for a first round interview on Friday of the same week. It was a short discussion followed by a 1 hour case interview (the case started off as a factor question and moved onto a purely numbers case). I found out that I had made to to the next round by Wednesday of the following week.
It took another 2 weeks to schedule the next round. This interview was scheduled for a Monday. It was purely a case interview with no behavioral section. It was a market entry case. I found out that I had made it to the final round the next day...which was scheduled for Friday of the same week.
This final interview had 3 sections: 1 behavioral interview for an hour, 1 case interview for an hour, and a 1 hour information session. It seemed like if you had made it to this stage of the interview and they were willing to spend 3 hours of their time, the job was yours to lose.
I found out I got the job 2 weeks later.
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
The offer was very fair and it came with a signing bonus. I was happy so I didn't see the point in negotiating. I don't think there is much room for negotiating unless you are brining something really special to the table.
Other Details
I got the interview through an Employee Referral and the interview consisted of a Phone Interview, a 1:1 Interview and a Skills Test.
