Interviewed Nov 2011 (took 3 months)
An exhausting, tedious and unnecessary interview process, of eight (8) (unbelievable!), lengthy and meaningless 1:1 interviews (!). Not a serious organisation to work for. Questions were totally out of context; interviewers didn't appear willing to conduct the interviews... Took ages to book meetings, which were cancelled most of the times half-an-hour beforehand! I was intrigued by the company growth, but apart from that, it is very disorganised. Recruiter mixed phone numbers, didn't apologise. They went through my CV couple of times, and only one person (during the 7th interview) said that they are not certain what they are looking for. Completely waste of time! It took three weeks to schedule the final phone conversation in order to announce to them that I wouldn't like to proceed.

Reason for Declining
No delivery methodologies, not a centralised knowledge base. If you are competent enough, sink or swim! it is likely that the former will happen. Got the feeling that there is no product (they are still experimenting with Hadoop), as they try to sell unrealistic solutions to customers and then try to investigate routes to deliver half-baked products. 'if it works, we'll productise it'. Sorry Sirs, it's a NO from me.
Other Details
The interview consisted of a Phone Interview, a 1:1 Interview, a Group/Panel Interview and a Presentation.

Interviewed May 2011 in New York, NY (took a day)
It was an 1:1 on campus interview.
I have met 3 people from Opera
they asked me business case types of questions, plus my motivation for consulting and Opera in particular.
I didn't make it, but also I was not really interested by consulting in general.

Interviewed Jan 2011 in London, England (United Kingdom) (took 2 months)
I applied for this position in October 2010 and got invited to a first round interview in November. However, It took several months to actually schedule the interview. I felt that the firm was a bit too disorganised in the recruitment process. Nevertheless, the first round consisted of 2 interview: both of them started with a few general behavioral questions and then ended with estimation cases.

Interviewed Oct 2011 (took a day)
I applied on the career fair then scheduled an 1:1 interview in campus. The interview lasted for 1 hour and the interviewer was very nice. He asked mainly questions on my background and my PhD research.
I was scheduled for an on-site interview but I was never able to attend due to multiple reasons. Opera Solutions seemed like a good place to work.

Interviewed Oct 2011 in New York, NY (took 2 days)
Reached out to recruiter after meeting them at Career fair. After several attempts, finally got a response and got scheduled a first round interview. 1st round took place on campus and consisted of 2 - 45 minute interviews, one with principal and another with analyst. Brainteaser and case study were given in 1st half, behavioral for 2nd half. Interviewers were very nice and cordial. Invited to 2nd round in Downtown LA, also consisted of meeting with principal and analyst for 2 - 45 minute interviews. 2nd round was considerable easier, we talked about interests and they answered any questions I had about the company.

Interviewed Dec 2011 (took 4 weeks)
I submitted my resume through a friend, interviewed on campus, and then had a final round interview at the office. The interviews were relatively straightforward with a case section and a behavioral section. Everyone was very nice and made the interviews as easy going as possible. Make sure to prepare for cases and regular (behavioral) interviews.

The interview consisted of a 1:1 Interview.
