Interviewed Oct 2011 in Boston, MA (took 3 weeks)
Axia was very organized throughout the whole process. The people at the firm are friendly, fun, and seemingly very competent. One of the best interview processes I've had.
1st interview:
On campus with a Principal. Great guy. Very genuine - not trying to sell you something you don't want. 30 minute behavioral/fit. 30 minute case. Fairly easy case here. Case was unstructured, so it allowed for quite a bit of creativity, which was nice.
2nd interview/final round:
Boston offices. Once again, they were on top of their game. All consultants were cheery, even though it was a Saturday morning. Office ordered in lunch for the interviewees and a number of consultants of all levels (AC through principal/partner). One of the principals at the firm is particularly personable and had me sold on the firm with the exception of the Boston location (more of a New York person).
4 interviews with different consultants (an AC, a consultant, a sr. consultant, and a principal). 2 behavioral, 2 case. Market sizing and revenue/cost forecasting-type questions. These cases were more challenging than the case during the first round. One case was particularly challenging, both quant heavy and pretty theoretical; tough but fair.
Culture at the firm seemed pretty sweet. Consultants here are the type you'd want to grab a few beers with after work.

Interviewed Oct 2009 in Boston, MA (took 5 weeks)
Interview consisted of three rounds:
1st round: 2 phone interviews - 1 hour each; 30 minutes for behavioral questions/company fit and the other 30 minutes were for the case interview. Both cases dealt with market sizing and cost/revenue problems
2nd round: 2 more phone interviews - exactly the same as the 1st round
3rd round: Office interview with the 2 partners of the firm; primarily company fit questions; "small" case questions, like "create the income statement for a restaurant"

Negotiation Details
There was no negotiation; I tried to bump up my base salary because I had more experience than similar past hires but the firm would not budge. I had to accept the offer received as-is.
Other Details
The interview consisted of a Phone Interview and a 1:1 Interview.

Interviewed Aug 2008 (took 2 weeks)
The interviews consisted of 2 background & fit interviews and 2 fit & case interviews. The case studies were fair and balanced - consistent with what I'd expect from a strategy consultancy. Two things to note:
1) They don't seem to do strategy. They spoke to me a lot about the great strategic sourcing work they did, which was a complete turn-off.
2) They really need to be selective with who they allow to do interviews. While most of their staff were very pleasant and professional, one of my interviewers was rather abrasive and clearly not on message with the rest of the firm. This could have been related to this interviewer being relatively new to the firm (< 6 months), but it is by no means an acceptable execuse for the interviewer's behavior.
