Interviewed Feb 2009 in Taipei (Taiwan) (took 6 days)
Case study question that tested the knowledge of the individual. It was terribly difficult, but requires a lot of thinking. One thing that did surprise me was a brain teaser that was asked near the end of an interview. Also, I had the opportunity to dine with an ex-employee with whom I learned a lot about the firm.
Overall, the experience was pleasant and not too difficult. Your standard consulting interview.

Interviewed Oct 2010 (took a day)
2 rounds of back to back 30 minute phone interview. The questions were pretty straight forward, but having done minimal prep for case interviews, I don't think I asked the right questions.

Interviewed Sep 2009 in Shanghai (China) (took 2+ weeks)
Not much different compared with other consulting companies. Interivew is consist of several case studies and some of them are from real case experiences. Office is pretty nice and people are easy to communicate with. Most of the interviewers are friendly to talk with. Though sometimes they pretend to be tough to test your personality.

Interviewed Sep 2009 in Boston, MA (took a day)
I was selected through my university's campus recruiting website. It is very important to apply both through their website and on your university's site. It was at a hotel near campus and I arrived on time. When I got there I had 2 consecutive 45 minute case interviews. They were not particularly difficult but I think it became apparent that I hadn't practiced enough. I found out that night I was not invited back.
