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 2010 (took 2 days)
Met with the Senior Associate for the team, as well as a panel of four team members. Senior associate questions were typical "personality" questions, like "Tell me about a time you failed." Panel questions were technical in nature.

Interviewed Mar 2009 in McLean, VA (took 3 months)
They outsource their recruiting service and bring in candidates who fit the profile of the firm. It was highly unorganized because the recruiter they subcontracted to left the firm in the middle of the hiring process. Fortunately the Booz Allen Associates (three of them) with whom I interviewed with, made it a point to keep in contact with me throughout the process.

Interviewed Aug 2011 in Rockville, MD (took 2 weeks)
Shortly after my friend had put me in as an employee referral I received an email from HR to set up a phone screening/interview. I answered basic resume questions about my experience. Less than a week later I was asked to fly down to Maryland for an onsite interview. I interviewed with four consultants and also spoke again with HR about logistics, next steps, etc. I had another offer on the table at the time, and HR knew that I needed to give an answer to the other company within a few days. Two days after my interview I received a call with an offer.
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
I didn't try to negotiate since they were offering me far more than I currently make. I had another offer on the table at the time, and Booz offered substantially more than my other offer as well.

Interviewed Jun 2011 in Baltimore, MD (took 2 days)
I received invitation to attend Army Market Career event at McLean office. I was told by the recruiter that I'll be scheduled for couple of interviews with hiring managers and it will not be a career fair type event. It ended up being a career fair. It seemed like this was the first time Booz Allen was conducting the event. It didn't look organized and HR folks were running around trying to do last minute changes. Even the Senior associate I interviewed with didn't looked happy about the arrangements.You really can't conduct interview for a professional position across a bar/pub table with seven other interviews going on in the same conference room.
I was scheduled to interview with only one hiring manager. After about 2 minutes of conversation, we both realized that we didn't align with each other needs. I decided to find the table that I thought aligned better with my experience. Spoke with the Lead associate for about five minutes. Discussed my skills/job experience and the work the department did. I received an offer the next day.
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
Yes, I was able to negotiate. Recruiter provided the salary and other details. I went back with a counter offer and BAH offered me a higher salary. The only advice I can give is to do your research. Know what you are worth and understand what you are bringing to the table and how you can help BAH succeed.

I Applied Online and the interview consisted of a Phone Interview and a 1:1 Interview.

Interviewed Aug 2011 (took a day)
I sent my resume to a recruiter online interested in recently separated military officers. I received a call from the recruiter and took part in an initial half hour phone screening. It covered basic experience, career goals, and some basic information. I was then invited to a career conference in McLean, VA. The conference consisted of several speakers followed by 3 hours of interviews with various teams. A few days later I received a call with an offer.

Interviewed May 2009 in Norfolk, VA (took 2 days)
Booz Allen uses a behavioral-based interview strategy. They did not ask many industry-specific knowledge questions; instead, the interview was more of a conversation. I had the feeling that they wanted to get to know me in order to determine if I was a good fit for the team and company. I ended up sitting down with 8-10 people (1 on 1) during the course of the interview. I think this was a good thing - it allowed the company to get several different perspectives on me.

Interviewed Apr 2011 in Washington, DC (took 3 weeks)
1) Employee Referral
2) Phone Screening - I had 2 screenings for the same position due to a lack of BAH organization, sloppy
3) In person interview: 3 rounds with 6 total interviewers
In person interview -- 3 rounds. First round was so bad, I later realized it was probably on purpose or just extremely unorganized. 3 interviewers, all showed up separately, but the first insisted I start, so I gave the subsequent 2 arrivals 15 second briefings and continued. The questions during that interview didn't make sense, the last arrival couldn't even figure out my current employer after multiple questions. 'No, no, I'm a consultant employed by XYZ and my project is for ABC Government Agency' -- was it possible this lady didn't understand the premise of consulting? So sloppy and unimpressed.
The remaining 2 rounds were with competent interviewers and went fine.
