Interviewed Jan 2012 in Chicago, IL (took 4 days)
I interviewed on the phone and they were very interested. From there, I went in to the office and met with the corporate recruiter and three marketing people (1:1). I felt that it went well...two days later I was contacted and told that they were persuing other clients. In addition, I got some interesting feedback. They told me that I presented myself very well and was qualified for the role, however I was too personable and relatable. Makes tons of sense. It's funny how they tell me I seemed casual, yet the interviewers were resting their heads on the table and telling me how tired they were. Everyone seemed very snotty and uptight. No thanks.

Interviewed Jan 2012 in Chicago, IL (took 4 weeks)
I got the interview through an employee referral. The interview consisted of one behavioral interview over the phone with an HR representative, one case study over the phone with a managing director, and a day in the office which consisted of a analyst panel and 3 1:1 interviews. Case study was the same as the employee that referred me, a business case about an ED and describing how you would go about assessing the situation to decompress the ED on certain days that it was over capacity and had long wait times. Be sure to freshen up on basic accounting principles as there is an accounts receivable problem that you have to work through in the final round. As others mentioned, all interviewers are typing everything you say while interviewing, which can be distracting.

Interviewed Nov 2011 in Portland, OR (took a day)
An internal recruiter contacted me and I took a pre-interview/candidate screening call with her. Overall, she was nice, but required answers to a few things that I didn't really want to give up: Compensation, Benefits package & cost for spouse, etc. I gave basic answers to just get to the meet and taters of the pre-interview. Turned out I was a perfect fit, but when compensation came up (after I research here I knew they wouldn't match what I was making), she back peddled and attempted to sell me on the "full benefits package and salary" of the position instead of me getting fixed on "just Salary". She tried hard to get me to agree to a huge cut in pay in return for a huge (and I mean huge) amount of vacation time. One thing that stuck out was that I mentioned that I didn't want to be in management in the next 3-5 years. She actually laughed and said "Oh no, you wouldn't be in management...."
She covered my skills, right down to the versions of software I worked with and how I supported specific software packages.
Interview Questions
Reason for Declining
Salary was too low. Between the comment she made and how the position was being offered, I also felt that there was a lack of option to move around within the company, mixed with the reviews of numerous issues within the company.

I got the interview through a Recruiter and the interview consisted of a Phone Interview.

Interviewed Jan 2012 in Chicago, IL (took 5 months)
Huron Consulting offers demanding and rewarding entry-level positions to college grads. I interviewed through their 3 step interview process in fall of 2011 and it did not result in an offer but I was encouraged to keep in contact. After an email here and there throughout 2012, I was referred again. Definitely a company where you need to know the rules of the game for interviewing with them - but if you know what they're looking for and hit the points you need to reach, I think it's a fair and accessible interview system. Unfortunately, if you make a mistep there aren't many second opportunities.

Interviewed Dec 2011 in Chicago, IL (took 2 weeks)
I started with a basic screening in which the recruiter gathered my information. About two weeks later I had my first behavioral interview. This interview consisted of two behavioral questions pertaining to how adjusted to difficult situations and turned them into positives. I passed and was scheduled to do my case interview over the phone because I wasn't local. My case question dealt with making an emergency room run more smoothly. I screwed up by skipping ahead to solutions rather than taking the time to describe what steps I would take to acquire the information necessary to know exactly what parts of the emergency room needed restructuring and therefore was not invited back.

Interviewed Dec 2011 in Hillsboro, OR (took 2 months)
Apx 3 weeks after submitting my application, I was contacted by the HR department for a half-hour phone screen, which was primarily to discuss the job requirements and my skill set and background. Apx a week later I had another telephone interview with the hiring manager, which consisted of a large number of behavioral questions. A week or so after that, I was invited in to the local office for a 5 hour interview with a number of potential colleagues, the hiring manager, and the Director of the group. This interview included role-playing, behavioral questions, technical/process questions, a tour of the office, and time for me to ask questions. A few days after the interview I was contacted with an offer, which I accepted.

Interviewed Oct 2011 (took 2 days)
The company interveiw process was informative and fair. All of the people who conducted my interviews were friendly and very open about the positive and negative aspects of the company.
The first round was a basic behavioral interview with the basic questions about leadership and challenges. The second round had another behavioral interview, but also included a case interview. The case interview was not the typical format that you might prepare for if you were using a book like Case in Point. This is not to say that if you prepare by a book like CIP you won't be prepared.

Interviewed Nov 2011 (took 4+ weeks)
First round - on campus, one-on-one 30 minute behavioral interview at my University's career center. Found out later that night that I got second round.
Second round - on campus the following day, one 45 minute case interview (very easy compared to other case interviews), one 45 minute behavioral interview. Found out the following Tuesday (2 business days later) that I got third round.
Third round - in-office visit (I went to NY, there were 3 Friday options, 2 in Chicago and 1 in NY) about 3 weeks later. Two 45 minute very informal interviews (one company overview, one project overview) where I was able to drive the conversation and ask whatever questions I had about the company and solution groups. This was when I could demonstrate how much I wanted to work for Huron and how much I knew about the company (take advantage of this if you want an offer). There was then a panel of analysts who answered any and all questions I had about training, work/life balance, etc.
I received a phone call less than 24 hours later with an offer.
Everyone was great throughout the recruiting process. Really friendly, young culture.

Interviewed Nov 2011 (took 3 weeks)
I met Huron Consulting Group representatives at my career fair earlier in the year and emailed the woman that was in charge of coordinating on campus interviews. A couple weeks later, she got back to me and gave me times to pick for an on campus interview. The interview was 30 minutes long and I was asked the basic questions like "Why Huron Legal" , "Why Consulting?" and resume questions. I was contacted about a week later about picking a date for an office visit. The office visit was 3 weeks after the on campus interview and consisted of a lunch with two other analysts and two other students that were interviewing. Then I had 4 1:1 interviews including a case interview and a behavioral interview. Their website does a good job of outlining the process and they let you know what kind of interviews to expect in advance.
