Interviewed Jul 2009 in Colorado Springs, CO (took a day)
Contacted via e-mail to schedule an interview. Ended up meeting 4 people for the interview from the hiring manager to the team leads. Asked more questions hypothetically than substance based from my previous training, education and experience. Hiring manager was cordial and explained the interview process as I was only told to prepare for a 2 hour interview. When I got the e-mail there were several names listed so I thought I would be interviewing with a panel but was instead escorted into a tiny room with a small table and two chairs where they each came in one after the other to discuss my resume, the culture at BAH and so forth. Overall it was a good experience but could be intimidating and stressful for someone not prepared. Each person seemed to take a fair amount of notes on things I said so I'm sure they compared notes post interview to determine my truthfulness. They did immediately validate my parking when I came in and one of the recruiters brought me into the interview room. I did notice my name was on a piece of paper outside the door to let people know the room was occupied and who was in there.

Interviewed Apr 2009 in Washington, DC (took 1 week)
I was contacted by a member of the group I am joining and subsequently by a recruiter to organize and schedule the interview. The interview itself was a single afternoon marathon including a presentation by the recruiter regarding the benefits, a skills test, a group interview and three one to one interviews. I was contacted two days later indicating an offer would be made. I was asked for a salary range and then was contacted the next day by the hring manager. An offer was made at that time at the midpoint in my range.
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
The compensation was in my range and was a generous offer and so I didn't feel comfortable negotiating for base compensation. The relo and company contribution to retirement were not negotiable. I did not request a signing bonus although that might have been possible.
Other Details
I got the interview through an Employee Referral and the interview consisted of a Phone Interview, a 1:1 Interview, a Group/Panel Interview and a Skills Test.

Interviewed Jan 2009 (took 1 week)
This was a experienced hire interview and was done by 1 day of round robin interviews with Senior Associates and Principals. This was followed by 2 interviews with Partners. Advice is to be yourself-Booz is focused on teamwork....if you are friendly, warm and knowledgeable, then things ought to go well. My hiccup was in the HR process and getting them to move the offer out during a period in which Booz in hiring (and everyone is firing) was tough, but in the end it went well.

Mine was short...I negotiated during the process and got what I wanted in salary. In this market I felt that I was lucky to have an offer and was not going to ask more then I thought I was worth.

Interviewed May 2008 (took 1 week)
I initially heard from the company via email. I initially declined until there were openings in a particular portion of the firm. One month later, I was contacted regarding that portion. I was screened by a recruiter from within the company, then agreed upon a date for an in person interview. The in person interview went very smoothly. I met the recruiter in person, then went to a room for a series of interviews, each asking about a different portion of my resume, and what type of position I was looking for. At the end of the interview, the recruiter came back in and went over HR, and began the salary phase. I found all representatives of the company to be bright, cordial, and interested in sharing their opinion (good and bad) of the company and culture with me.

Negotiation Details
I knew what salary range to ask for before my interview because I did plenty of research before hand. That's my best advice. Don't divulge your salary range until the company makes theirs first.

The interview consisted of a Phone Interview, a 1:1 Interview and a Group/Panel Interview.
