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.

Interviewed Sep 2011 in McLean, VA (took 2 months)
Phone interview with HR point of contact that was overly general and elementary and reinforced the fact that the person had not read my CV - nor did they understand first hand what the skill set was for the role that I was applying for. Second touch point was a timed writing assessment for which I never heard any feedback on, so I'm not sure why that was a requirement. Third step was filling out an e-application for which they had incorrectly logged my email into the system and therefore we had continuous issues with getting the app accepted. Fourth step was a group interview session which was interesting, if you like interviewing (which I do). However - it wasn't really explained well in terms of the logic behind it to the group and a lot of other candidates that were there were clearly confused. Two weeks after that step - I received a call from the HR person to check in to get my feedback and to say that they would be back in touch with me within a week. Three weeks pass with me doing a lot of calling and status checks. I then had another group interview (with a smaller set of people) where I was informally told that I was good to go/in - but then nothing. I finally get a call back after leaving many follow-up voicemails/emails from HR who said that they were showing my resume around to other groups, as well as going to check in with the group that I had originally applied to and would call within a day or so. Another week passes - more emails from my side - and finally I get a call back from the same HR person who said that "after careful consideration - my skill set did not match what they had available at that time, but that I should feel free to apply to other positions there that I might be interested in... " Huh?

Interviewed Nov 2009 in Rockville, MD (took 3 weeks)
The phone interview took about 15 minutes, and went well. On-site interview took place one week later. It started at 8:30 am. The HR rep outlined the firm, major policy and benefit package. Followed by three interviewers and one of them is the manager. They are very nice and professional. The questions are not challenging. They care more about the overall capability, and lots of questions concerning how to interact with team and leadership.

Interviewed Aug 2011 in Washington, DC (took a day)
It seemed like I was doing more of the interviewing than being interviewed, the impression was that this was just something they'd have to do.

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.

Interviewed Sep 2011 in Washington, DC (took 2 weeks)
My first interview was by phone with a recruiter and they called me in for a second interview. Thanks to reading reviews here, I was prepared for the speed-dating style which was pleasant and went well. Still haven't heard anything, but I've been told it can take several weeks.

Interviewed Oct 2011 (took 4+ weeks)
I applied to a job that was advetised on the Booz Allen Hamilton website and recieved an email from a recruiter asking to set up a time to talk with me within a few days. The during the initial phone focused mostly on the position and about the company. I recieved a second phone call from another recruiter which focused on setting up the first Interview. The first actual interview was approximately a week later and consisted of a three 30-minute interviews, one phone/webcam interview and two phone interviews. The questions focused on my background and experience and strength/weakness-type questions. There was also plenty of time for me to pose questions to the interviewers. All of the interviewers were very personable, polite, and knowledgable. I followed up with the recruiters after not hearing anything for a couple days (after I was told to expect a response by) and found out that the senior interviewer hadn't had a chance to confer with the others and provide a recommendation. A couple days later I recieved a phone call from a one of the recruiters wanting to set up another phone interview, this time with a Senior Associate. The second interview lasted about 20 minutes and consisted several questions about my experience and then was opened up to my questions for the interviewer. Within a week I recieved a telephone call offering me a position.

Interviewed Oct 2011 in Troy, NY (took a day)
Went for an on campus interview. The person I talked to was very friendly and intelligent. He asked me some engineering questions, and some behavioral questions.. typical interview stuff. It sounded like a good place to work but perhaps lacking in a little excitement.
