Interviewed Mar 2010 in New York, NY (took 4+ weeks)
I first applied to interview on an online site. After being selected, I was called by one of the directors asking if I could come in for an interview the following week. It was a very friendly, casual conversation. I went in for the first set of interviews and I absolutely loved everyone! I went to lunch with a couple employees (which was considered an interview) and then I was interviewed by two other. Everyone was very casual and conversational. There were no "typical" interview questions. I got called a second time asking if I could come in and meet the top guy. This time, there were a few "typical" questions. But it was overall still extremely casual. I did not have one behavioral question- thank goodness. After words, I was taken to lunch by another coworker. Then within a week and a half I was called by the corporate office with a job offer! I didn't except the offer right away and the employees at the office emailed me friendly notes just saying that they were there to help if needed! I took the position within a few days.

Interviewed Dec 2011 in Atlanta, GA (took 2 months)
It was a very enjoyable process. After applying through my university's career services site, I was contacted for a behavioral phone interview with HR. After waiting a week or two, someone from the office I requested contacted me for an office interview. The office interview consisted of several one on one and panel interviews. Most of the time, we were just talking about everyday stuff, the behavioral questions and personality fit questions were not dictating the interview. I found this to be very enjoyable. It is important to them that you have researched and understand to some level what types of consulting they do. However, they are mostly looking for intelligent problem solvers, so even if you may have interest in public accounting, mgt consulting, or investment banking; the experience at Navigant will definitely prepare you and give you a leg up from an experience stand point.

Interviewed Aug 2011 in Houston, TX (took a day)
They just asked the basic interview questions like what career goals you have, why you want to work at the company, why are you looking for a new job.... I interviewed with four people from different positions, which you may be will be working with. Overall its not a tough interview just be honest and be yourself don't be afraid to ask questions and voice your concerns

Interviewed Mar 2012 (took 3 weeks)
I thought it was an odd interview process. I enjoyed visiting the company though. They flew me out to the office and paid for everything. The night before they give you a presentation and then give you an agenda of who you will be interviewing with the next day along with a short bio on the person. The next day consisted of three 1:1 interviews. The weird thing was nobody interviewed with the same 3 people. So how they made the final decision I have no idea. I can only imagine the conversation..."Person A: I liked John....Person B: Well I did not interview John I interviewed Jane and I liked her....Person A: Well my opinion matters more because..." But I digress...
On the day I interviewed, one of the people I was supposed to interview with missed their flight, so they set me up to interview with someone who was not even in the same practice area I was applying for. The other interview was also with someone not in the same exact practice, and that person wasn't even based in the same office I was interviewing for. So really I only got to interview with one person who was based in the same office and the same practice area, while other candidates interviewed with all people who were in the same practice. Again, I don't see how they can make a fair/unbiased decision based on that. I do understand that I would have been working with the other people I interviewed and traveling a lot to the other offices, but still I would've liked to interview with people who more involved with the work I would be doing.
I thought the interviews went fairly well, and sent three thank you emails when I got home. Did not receive a response to any of them. Two of those emails were sent to the "buddies" that the office sets you up with. When I found out I did not get an offer, I sent a brief email to two different people asking for any feedback they could offer. Still no response on those either. That's not really a bash on Navigant though hardly any company ever responds to feedback requests, which is sad.
I would have liked to work there and the culture seemed nice. So I have nothing against the company, but think they could improve the interview process.

Interviewed Mar 2012 in Washington, DC (took 1 week)
First interview consisted of two main questions. Describe a success in your work experience and a difficulty. One should also describe how well they would fit as a consultant. Thus, one should speak on teamwork and leadership skills, as well as communication skills.

Interviewed Dec 2011 in Washington, DC (took 2 months)
Not hard interviews but it took them a lot longer to make the decision then originally expected. Had to deal with employee vacations. Overall very friendly interviews. They are very devoted to team cohesiveness,so don't try to be a individual.

Interviewed Dec 2011 in Washington, DC (took 4+ weeks)
Initially applied through university career services website. Was contacted for a first round phone interview. First round interview was strictly behavioral, with an emphasis on previous experiences working in teams. Very conversational, and felt like they were mostly gauging if you could fit into their office culture. After the phone interview, was invited to the office for a final round of interviews. Office visit began with lunch with two consultants to ask questions and discuss life with the firm. After lunch, there were a series of 4 45 minute interviews. Similar to the first round interview, these interviews were exclusively behavioral and designed to clarify any questions or concerns you had about the business, and for them to see how well you would fit in and that your goals were aligned with what the firm could offer you. All in all the interviews were very relaxed and conversational.
