Interviewed Jan 2010 in Bethesda, MD (took 2 weeks)
Phone screens, a couple of 1x1 interviews and tours, and finally a panel. Everyone was extremely friendly and professional.

Negotiation Details
CSC can and does pay low due to the draw of their big name, but their benefits can make up for it to an extent, especially educational. Ultimately, the company is making a huge margin on my role.
Other Details
The interview consisted of a Phone Interview, a 1:1 Interview, a Group/Panel Interview and a Background Check.

Interviewed Oct 2011 (took 3 months)
Very friendly group of people. First round of interviewing was primarily focused on relaying specific educational and work qualifications to be considered. Second round of interviews were more personality based with various consultants, VP, etc. Some odd mathematical and case related questions thrown in to keep you on your toes.

Interviewed Oct 2010 in Washington, DC (took 4+ weeks)
Had an initial phone interview with the head of the section. It was more about my background and less "interview" type questions.
After, had an in person interview with the person to whom I would report, as well as her team. They then verified my education and called all 3 of my references. They went through my strengths and weaknesses, asked for detailed experiences in which I had shown initiative, etc.

Interviewed Mar 2011 in Falls Church, VA (took 3 weeks)
Began with telephone screen by recruiter, 20 minutes of discussions about career aspirations and reasons for leaving current position, followed up in 2 weeks with in-person interview with 2 managers of consulting organization, about 40 minutes a piece. Was surprised that interview did not include a lot of discussion of my background and experience nor any discussion of job expectations and requirements, conversation mostly about nature of consulting market, competitive differentiators of CSC, and evolution of CSC consulting group. I was asked for my questions at multiple times (make sure you have some questions available). Office was typical business, small closed-door offices for managers, cubes for most of the rank/file, it seemed that most staff were off-site (as you would expect serving clients). Was told to wait for position to become available (we don't hire for bench)

Interviewed Oct 2008 (took 4 weeks)
It was a 4 hour interview where I met 5 - 6 people at various levels within the organization. It was largely a "fit" interview. There were a few behavioral interview questions, as well. The people were all very nice and polite. Very few consultants work at the home office, so it may not be the best way to measure the true work experience...
