Interviewed Nov 2011 in New York, NY (took 4 weeks)

I got the interview request through a campus recruiting system. Had the candidates come to a pre-interview networking event where we got to meet our interviewers, luckily mine was exceptionally nice. Anyway, the next day consisted of 2 one-on-one interviews which were essentially completely personality evaluations. After a week or so I was invited to the New York office for my second round and a few weeks after that we attended a super day (which was really only 3 hours). This consisted of a couple presentations and then two more interviews with partners. Again, mostly personal but this time it got a little more technical, nothing unmanageable.

Interview Questions

Simple things such as giving examples of projects or team ventures and their outcomes. I was interviewing for an intern position so they did have much to ask on the difficult side.

Interviewed Dec 2011 in Boston, MA (took a day)

Both first and second round interviews were all fit - no cases. They only give cases to MBA candidates. They asked why consulting, go through your resume, etc. Asked when was a time that you faced an ethical dilemma and what did you do about it?

Interviewed Oct 2010 in Philadelphia, PA (took a day)

First, campus 1:1 interview with an advisory lead partner, strictly behavioral, I asked most of the questions and it was a basic walk through of my resume. Office visit consisted of short presentation with other intern candidates from recruiter about HR policies, community services, intern program, etc. Then 1:1 time with an analyst, unstructured Q&A basically. Next was 2 back to back interviews with a Manager and a Partner in the group. All behavioral questions (tell me about a time, etc.).

Interviewed Mar 2009 in Los Angeles, CA (took a day)

I found the internship through my school career fair and many of the accounting organization networking events. I submitted my resume through the school career center website. Got accepted for an interview. Was mostly behavior questions and 1 case study question. Afterward, I got invited a few days later to an inhouse interview. I had three informal interviews that day with managers/partners, back to back. Afterward, I got the job.
