Interview Details –
Final round interview was in the NYC office. Consisted of one case study, 4 hour long behavioral interviews and one presentation for the recruiting committee.
Case study was pretty straight forward if you've done lots of practices.
Behavioral interviews were also standard.
Presentation required preparation beforehand. HR personnel will email a topic beforehand, and we had to create a 10 minute presentation before interview day.

Interview Details – 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.
Interview Question – There really werent any 'hard' questions. I would say the hardest part is they expected me to be able to talk to them more than they asked questions. They would state stuff I had written on my resume and then just say... talk about it. I asked most the questions. Answer Question
Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Atlanta, GA Dec 2011 – Reviewed Apr 14, 2012
Interview Details – 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.

Interview Details – 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.
