Interviewed Jan 2012 in Chicago, IL (took a day)
I applied online through my college career website and had attended an event that Capgemini held on campus. I talked with a couple of the employees at the event and let them know that I had already submitted my resume online. When I went to interview in person, a company representative welcomed me and asked a little bit about my background. I was called into another room for a 45 minute interview, and the interviewer did not seem all that interested in me. I was not called back for another one.

Interviewed Apr 2012 in Chicago, IL (took 3 weeks)
I was an employee referral which I believe is what got me in the door. I was given a little insight that I may not be a traditional candidate and to have a firm understanding of the consulting lifestyle before interviewing. Phone screen with HR to make sure my background could be applied to consulting, phone interview with manager to better assess fit with industry. In person with 3 interviews that consisted of 2 cases (one informal and one formal) and a final fit interview. Prep for the cases! And if you get stuck, make sure to talk your thinking out with the interviewer. My informal case didn't go well but I didn't give up and I wasn't visibly shaken which I believed helped secure my offer. The formal case was very traditional.

Interviewed Apr 2011 in Chicago, IL (took 4+ weeks)
The interview process was a very long one and usually consisted of 1-2 phone interviews per week, along with daily calls from the director of recruiting. I flew out from CA for a final interview in IL and was told that it went very well and I should receive an offer in a few days...after a week I still heard nothing. Dead silence.

Interviewed Mar 2011 in Chicago, IL (took 6 weeks)
Many questions were asked, however it was said first that there wouldn't be any technical qualifications required for the job and then in second round interviews, I was told they are only looking for someone with a computer science background. The process seemed overly competitive to the point that the company seemed like they were wasting people's time (Over 50 second round interviews given to candidates for 7 positions).

Interviewed Dec 2008 in Chicago, IL (took 2 days)
My first round interview on campus was strictly behavioral, and was with a consultant who had been with the firm for about 8 years.
Second (and final) round interviews consisted of an office visit, where they gave a quick presentation about the company, gave us lunch, and had about 3 rounds of interviews.
Interviews were conducted by 2 senior/manager level consultants and one recent-hire.
I interviewed with 3 other candidates for 1 open position. The other three candidates had/were seeking Master's degrees in technical fields.
