Interviewed Sep 2010 (took 1 week)
I applied to the open position through an online job posting and was contacted directly by the hiring manager. The first interview was a casual phone interview. He wanted to bring me in to speak with other members of his executive search team. I interviewed in person with a total of three people in the group--the hiring manager, as well as two senior executive search consultants. Questions were typical interview questions, testing my ability to handle pressure, how well I get along with different personalities, what I thought I would add to the team and what job responsibilities I thought I would have in the role, etc. The whole process was straight-forward and painless.

Interviewed Sep 2011 in Boston, MA (took a day)
I had a first round interview. It consisted of 2 30 minute interviews--one with a partner and one with an associate.
The behavioral questions were straight forward. They asked the "Why consulting?" question and seemed to want an answer that was stronger than mine. They were very skeptical that my previous work experience made me well suited for consulting.
The cases were straightforward as well. One was about starting a home maintenance business. The other was about sizing the zipcar market and talking about how zipcar would acquire similar companies.

Interviewed Apr 2010 in Chicago, IL (took 2 days)
I first had a phone conversation with the Managing Director. Then I was invited in and met with him and 4-5 recruiters with the firm. I came in for a second round with a few other recruiters, then had a phone conversation with the CEO (who is not in this location). After this, was made an offer.

Interviewed Apr 2010 in Chicago, IL (took 2 days)
I felt that the interview process was thorough and professional. I met with a lot of people over 2 days and got to be sure that the company was a "fit" for me. Everyone was clearly a strong recruiter and I absolutely got the sense that I would be able to work independantly. I feel like I am part of an extremely talented team.
