Interviewed Apr 2010 in Washington, DC (took 2 weeks)
The process went well for the most part. They assigned me an interview buddy to be a POC during the process. However, they strung me along at the end. When it was all said and done they clearly knew at one point that they were not going to hire me, but strung me along any way. I think I was their second choice and they were waiting to hear back from their first choice. For my 4th and last interview I waited an hour for the VP to call me and basically spend 5 minutes on the phone with me. Just poor customer service.

Interviewed Sep 2011 in McLean, VA (took 5 months)
Multiple 1:1 interviews with 7 different managers, principals, and VPs. The process began in March and took 5 months to complete. It then took 2 more months to be on-boarded. While I appreciate the need for thorough, collaborative assessments of senior applicants, I was disappointed with the 7 month duration, combined with an offer that was 37% less than my previous salary.
Negotiation Details
There was no negotiation. It was take it or leave it. Not very satisfied by that, but given the length of the interviewing process, I couldn't afford to say no.
Other Details
I applied In-Person and the interview consisted of a 1:1 Interview.

Interviewed Jul 2010 in Chicago, IL (took a day)
Responded to a posting, was contacted and had phone interview with a recruiter, second step was a phone interview with national leader, third step was an in-office interview with the HR team in Chicago. People were great, but not smart enough to hire me and my direct competitor experience.

Interviewed Aug 2011 (took 2+ weeks)
A friend recommended me for the position. I first received an email from HR asking to complete an online profile and to setup a phone interview. After the phone screen, HR asked to set up the office interview. This took some time as it was reportedly a challenge to find a time for the interview team to all meet. The interview consisted of five separate 30 minute interviews; most of which ran long. The first was with the the hiring manager, then followed by three members of the project team. The final interview was the hiring manager's manager. After the interviews, I received a follow-up call from HR and they gave me next steps. After about one week, I received a call from the hiring manager of the offer. A formal letter offer came in the mail. After the call from the hiring manager, I also received a call from the Project Manager from the team. Overall, the group is looking for a specific skill (met that criteria from my resume and it got me in the door) and fit within the team and firm (this was from the interviews).

There was some negotiation. HR put up some road blocks, but it was the hiring manager who held the cards. Any negotiations should be held with the hiring manager and not the HR staff.

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 Oct 2011 in Charlotte, NC (took 3 months)
It was a very long and confusing process that started in August 20111 and was subject to multiple instances of last minute rescheduling due to changes on their side. I had 6-7 interviews in total between in person, phone screen and phone-interviews with peers, local leadership and more senior executives. Some intelligent questions but in general the perception was the most of the interviewers did not know what they would do with a new hire at the Senior Associate level. Several months later the HR person told me they were going through a "utilization drill", aka staff reduction, and were going to follow-up around Thanksgiving (Nov/2011). It never happened. I am very disappointed with the lack of professionalism of this company.

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 Nov 2010 in Linthicum, MD (took a day)
There were three different division from Booz Allen there: Software Development, Cyber technology, and Analytics. Each division had 3-4 pairs of interviewers and you rotated through each pair. This led to quick paced interviews with over 20 different people from Booz Allen. While it felt semi-rushed, it was nice because it gave you multiple opportunities to make a good impression. Instead of having one chance to connect with the interviewer, you had several. It also gave you the ability to learn more about each different division.
If you did well, you get an unofficial offer a few days later, potentially from more than one division. You can then say what division you liked the most and then they will work on extending you an official offer

Interviewed Apr 2009 (took 2 weeks)
Overall an easy and pleasant experience. The internal recruiter was helpful and responsive, and the interview process itself was smooth. The hiring manager moved quickly to get me in an interview, and followed up quickly with an offer. Initial impressions of the company and my future colleagues were very positive. The interview/hiring experience definitely affected my decision to join Booz Allen Hamilton.
