Interviewed Mar 2011 (took 2+ weeks)
I sent my CV for a position of intern in Business Performance Services, it's like internal consulting, as they don't hire other consulting firms. I had 3 1:1 interviews. They went through my CV and asked questions: case (estimate market of office buildings in Moscow; explain why company has decreasing income, while number of clients is growing (company is of course IT)), some simple problems on probability with coins.

Interviewed Apr 2009 (took 2 months)
The interview is mainly on my research experience. I introduced my previous research project experience. And the interviewer asked a lot of details, ranging from idea, architecture, implementation to experimental results. The interviewer introduced their proposed project and the responsibility in finishing this project. Overall, the interview is very pleasant.

Interviewed Mar 2008 (took 2 weeks)
the interview process took about 3 weeks in all. It consisted of an online numeric and personality test, group excerises and a business interview. Thoughout the process staff were very friendly, open and honest. The experience didn't feel as though I was competing, but as though I was working in a team to a result. The office were professional and theprocess was very straight forward.
