Interviewed Apr 2011 in Menlo Park, CA (took 1+ week)
I was called 2 days after submitting my application. First round interview consisted of 3 30 minute interviews each with an Analyst. The case studies were first, antitrust issues of fictional Coal Industry. Second valuation of an announcement that hurt a company stock. And third, sub-prime mortgages and bank risk. 2 business days later I was called to be flown to the office. That consisted of 5 30 minute interviews with case studies ranging from real estate pricing to hedge fund management and pharmaceutical effectiveness suit. All interviewers were very nice and I felt welcome. Because I had a time sensitive offer, I was called a few days after and told I did not get the position. This was after they hired most analysts and were looking for additional ones to fill out the team.

Interviewed Feb 2011 in Menlo Park, CA (took 2 weeks)
Got the Interview from on campus recruiting. Had no experience with Economic Consulting. Actually, I was very likely the only non-economics major in their final round. Had a total of 6 case interviews for the 2 rounds, 2 for the first round and the other 4 for the second round. All cases are from different industries ranging from security damage to antitrust to IP..... Didn't really prepare in terms of the types of the cases since I was only preparing for strategy/management consulting case interviews previously. However, still somehow managed to get through the interview and was placed in their waiting list, after one week of waiting, was extended an offer.

First round consists of two different thirty minute interviews. First 5 or 10 minutes is behavioral and the rest is case questions. Next round is 3 or 4 30 minutes interviews with case questions. Case questions are very interactive and geared towards problem-solving.
