Interviewed Jun 2011 in New York, NY (took 2 weeks)
Received a call from the recruiter to set up interview times. Interviewed with 4 people (30 min each) from different teams within the firm. It was nice to be able to speak with high level employees as well as peers. Interview was pretty straightforward; more of a conversation versus interview.

Interviewed Dec 2011 in McLean, VA (took a day)
I videoconferenced with three employees of the company. We discussed my resume, my experiences, and my personality for a while. Eventually the conversation moved on to life at Booz Allen. I didn't have to answer any technical questions or anything like that. We ended up talking for about an hour. All in all, a pretty easy and enjoyable interview. I was shocked when the followup phone call (an hour later!) was about a job offer, not to schedule the next interview.

Interviewed Apr 2010 in McLean, VA (took 2+ weeks)
Interview process began with a phone screen from the recruiter. General questions about my skills, background and what I am looking for. Next step was a writing sample. I was emailed the case and had 1 hour to complete and resend back to the recruiter. After the writing sample I was asked to come in for a group interview during this process it was like speed dating. I interviewed with 5 people, one at a time. All candidates were in one room and each had a desk. The interviewers came to my table and we talked for about 20 min each. Then there was a 30 min social at the end with all candidates and interviewers.

Interviewed Jun 2011 (took 3 months)
I first forwarded my resume to the university recruiter, who I had met at a career fair. This was back in March. He never contacted me directly, but about 2 months later, I received a phone call from a recruiter who just did a basic phone screening, told me about the position they were hiring for, asked me a few basic questions about my background, and then told me she wanted to invite me to the next group interview session in McLean the following month, with travel expenses to be reimbursed by the company.
The interview in McLean consisted of a group of recruits. We first assembled in a small conference room and met the HR person who was responsible for hiring, along with a few other senior people. They talked with us about the interview process and how it would work. We then went into out own individual small interview rooms and one by one current Booz employees (at the associate level and above, I believe), would come into the room. There were a total of three interviewers who would come in and go over my resume, asking specific questions about my work experience and also some hypothetical situations. After that, we were told we could leave.
I received a phone call a few days later with an offer.
Negotiation Details
It was very difficult to negotiate with HR, but I did manage to get them to increase the offer by $5000. They pointed to my lack of "process" experience as the reason for being recruited for the consultant position, while people who graduated from the same program and similar experience were coming in as senior consultants with higher pay.
Other Details
I got the interview through a College or University and the interview consisted of a Phone Interview, a Group/Panel Interview and a Background Check.

Interviewed Dec 2010 in Arlington, VA (took 3 weeks)
Interviewed with multiple members of the team with the job opening including the Project Manager and Program Manager, a Senior Associate, and a peer. The interview lasted approximately two hours. The interview consisted of one on one meetings as well as multiple interviewers. They presented a timed exercise related to the job opening, but it was not a "make or break" exercise, rather a gauge of aptitude for the position.

Interviewed Jun 2011 in Baltimore, MD (took a day)
Was called by a recruiter on the phone. The recruiter asked me what the salary range I wanted was, I quoted 45-55k. They invited me to an interview at a hotel where I met with several panels which consisted of different IT teams. Spoke to each of them for 15 min like a speed date for an hour and a half. After that the interview was over. Month and a half later I received an offer for 72k
