Interviewed Oct 2011 in Boston, MA (took 2 weeks)
Phone screening interview to begin, then a more in depth interview with to associates a few days later. Very involved process. If you use Case Interview.com or any of those other books/websites, it won't work. Thats more for Bain, McKinsey etc. They know exactly what they're looking for in their answers. If you are a math major you're in good shape.

Interviewed Oct 2011 in Boston, MA (took 2 days)
Campus recruiting had 1:1 interviews that were case-based; met with 2 people (VP level and consultant/analyst level). Fairly straightforward cases with tech/telecom focus; interviewers helped to walk you through it.
Invited for superday at their Boston HQ. 1 behavioral interview with short case and then 3 cases. Most cases not hard, though you did need to think about them. I think the hardest thing was endurance--4 case interviews is a lot! Each one took approx. 40 minutes and they were back-to-back, so by the last one I was pretty tired.

Had an initial on campus interview with two cases and a four case interview at their office. more quantitative than most cases, frameworks seemed to be less important.

Interviewed Oct 2011 (took a day)
Two 1:1 interviews with current Analysts. Each one started with a few questions about background and resume, then moved to case interview. One is about a media production company deciding to enter online streaming subscription service and the other is about investors interested in cloud computing.

Interviewed Mar 2011 in Boston, MA (took 3 weeks)
I was contacted by a headhunter about the position. I interviewed with HR first in a 45 min interview. She asked the basic questions about walking through resume and what I was looking for. Having passed that stage she set up a case interview with a consultant on their team. The case interview lasted about 1 hour. The first 20 min the interviewer talked about the firm and job. That took up about 20 min. As a result, I felt rushed during the case. It was about a telecom issue with international implications. How to expand the business. Choice of target markets, buy or build infrastructure topics were all discussed. I launched right into my solution. This was my mistake. I should have spent more time asking clarifying questions. The topic and case itself were quite easy. I learned from the process to be more thoughtful and deliberate in doing case interviews.

Interviewed Oct 2010 in Boston, MA (took 4+ weeks)
I had an initial phone screen, which was a pretty simple case with a small quant component (calculating customer value). I passed this, then went to the second- and third-round combo day, during which I think I was a little too relaxed. Altman is a very type-A company, and they look for that kind of personality.

Interviewed Apr 2010 in Boston, MA (took 4 months)
I was contacted by a recruiter in November. After the initial phone interview, I was told that the company's HR department would contact me shortly for an interview. It took several weeks for the HR department to get back to me, however it appears that that was nothing out of ordinary.
We scheduled the first interviews in Boston in January. The first set of interviews consisted of mostly going through cases, much like it is done at McKinsey & Co. I interviewed with three different consultants (2 of them Senior Associates and one Associate Principal). I felt that I didn't do as well on the interview with the Associate Principal, but am quite confident that I did really well in the other two interviews. I also went for a lunch with an Analyst and and an Associate, and had a nice time.
I was not extended an offer after the first round of interviews. Instead, I was invited for another visit to Boston more than a month later. The second round of interviews also consisted of cases. However, this time I was interviewed by a partner and two Associate Principals. The interviews went well, and I was extended an offer.

Interviewed Feb 2010 in Boston, MA (took a day)
Applied through career services and was accepted for an on-campus interview. The interview consisted of fit/behavioral questions at the beginning, case discussion, and questions at the end. The interviewer was an associate consultant and was very friendly. Fit questions were fairly straightforward and resume-based, and the case itself was related to the specific type of work that this firm handles. Unfortunately, this was my first case interview and I was not well-prepared. Didn't get an invite for the second round.
