Interviewed Oct 2009 in McLean, VA (took a day)
Brought in dozens of candidates, quick presentation, and then a series of interviews in large rooms with other candidates. Talked to one engineer for behavioral interview (who admitted he didn't know how to conduct a behavioral interview so we just walked about me resume) and another for a technical interview (who played dumb with every solution I gave him only to admit at the end that he was jerking me around to see what I said, and that I had the best solutions he'd seen that day). Fed us lunch and then sent us back to the airport.
Interview Questions
Reason for Declining
Lack of respect for candidates, obviously didn't prepare interviewers, shady interviewing practices, and the company overview presentation made the company seem smarmy and shady. Big emphasis that the employees are there to make the company money, not for the company to help the employee. Luckily I had several offers so I didn't need to work someplace that treats you that way.
Other Details
I got the interview through a College or University and the interview consisted of a 1:1 Interview and a Group/Panel Interview.

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 Apr 2010 in McLean, VA (took 2 days)
The interview process was very similar to speed dating. Probably 20-30 candidates in one room each sitting at their own table. The interviewers would rotate from each table to talk with each candidate. It took maybe 3 hours. This was all after a phone interview to qualify for this round.

Interviewed Sep 2009 (took 4 weeks)
My friend referred me directly to the hiring manager and HR contacted me in one week for on-site interview. The on site interview is about 4 hrs long and I would say the interview questions were fair.
Later after i joined the company, I also participated the interview-hire process. Per the process, 3-4 people were required for each candidate and there was a key interviewer assigned. The key interviewer is responsible to write down the review and give the recommendation.

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

Interviewed May 2010 (took a day)
It was a hiring event and Booz brought in about 100-200 people to interview with about 40 staff. Each business unit and government client had a station and you rotated through the stations talking to the Boozers at each table. It was a great interview process.
Interview Questions
Reason for Declining
They made a low-ball salary offer and I had another much higher offer on the table from another company. Needless to say, I took it. They're offer was so low, it wasn't worth even attempting to negotiate. I knew they wouldn't come up to where I was, so I declined their offer.
Other Details
I got the interview through an Employee Referral and the interview consisted of a Group/Panel Interview.
