Interviewed Feb 2012 in Atlanta, GA (took 3 weeks)
This is a small consulting firm that is still trying to sell to it's clients that they know the best way for the clients to run the business AND for a fee they will share that secret with the clients.
YES there is TRAVEL it is exactly what they describe, if you're not OK with that, don't apply. The Travel does not stop.
Phone interview: Very professional, questions were as expected about leading through change. Situation Behavior Outcome interview. Very nice HR person.-Week 1
Face to Face Interview: with SR HR Rep, very nice, very professional, put's a great spin on a company that has a really poor reputation. "All that has changed and now we're back to being the best, or I would not be here" Week 2
Skills Assessment: Analyze a large amount of information and make a recommendation in a short amount of time. Not a ridiculous amount, probably a 40 page document plus P&L's on a fictitious company. A real world simulation. Skills Assmt includes analyze documents, two small presentations, a 1 on 1 interview with a person a level or two above you and a 10 minute exercise to see what you would do if this came across your desk.
What they're looking for is a person who is comfortable saying things like, "I've been doing this for 10 years and this is the way we recommend." If you do not agree with somewhat "slanting" the truth to sell your company this is not the company for you.

Reason for Declining
I have worked very hard to establish myself as an honest hardworking individual and would not sacrifice my reputation for the benefit of a company who prides itself of making every last dollar off it's clients rather then finding actual ways to save them money or use revenue enhancers to enhance their bottom line.
Other Details
I Applied Online and the interview consisted of a Phone Interview, a 1:1 Interview, a Group/Panel Interview, a Presentation, a Skills Test, a Personality Test and a Background Check.

Interviewed Nov 2011 (took 3 days)
I was contacted over the email to schedule a phone interview the next day which went very well and was asked to fly in to Atlanta for the Interview. The entire process took about 4 hours and included 1:1 Interview (basic questions), 1:1 case study, followed by individual and group presentation. Easy for someone who just graduated with MBA, harder for someone who has no experience analyzing a lot of information in a short period of time.

Interviewed Nov 2011 (took a day)
Simple standard type questions for situations nothing rocket science to say the least. The job required travel sunday through friday, some international travel could take you out of the country 4 weeks at a time. They seemed very focused on the travel could you do or handle it rather than what skills I brought to the table. The salary was 60k. That was a little shocking with the amount of responsibility and travel associated to the position.

Interviewed Apr 2009 (took 1 week)
My friend recruited me to be a BDC (i.e. telemarketer) at Proudfoot. I had never heard of this consulting firm before but agreed to apply since the base salary was good. My interview consisted of a meeting with the BDC supervisor, and an SVP of Sales. It was very easy; they asked simple questions, and I admitted to knowing almost nothing about the firm - but they were personable. A few days later I had a 15 minute phone interview with someone more senior - maybe the head of HR, can't remember exactly? At any rate, I had an offer a few days later. I felt the entire process was quick and easy - probably because they desperately needed people booking sales meetings!

Interviewed Jul 2010 (took 2 days)
you have an initial phone interview in which they then determine whether to bring you in for a group interview which consists of 3-4 one on one interviews, a group case study and a solo case study. They then let you know the next day whether you passed the assessment and are in their project pipleline. You are not actually hired until they sign you to a project so being in the pipeline means you are not hired yet but once a project is being staffed they will ask you if you accept an offer to be hired.
