Interviewed Sep 2011 in Warsaw (Poland) (took a day)
The interview was supposed to consist of three 1:1 rounds with senior consultants. However, one of the designated interviewers could not make it in time, so the process was slashed to two interviews. The cases were quite easy, and standard - declining profits and market entry. Fit questions were a little tricky, sort of, what would you expect to go badly with your internship, what value will you bring to senior staff and clients with no prior industry experience, and so on. Overall, I would say the interview was quite easy, but it left me with mixed feelings regarding my prospects of joining the firm, and the firm itself.

Interviewed Mar 2011 in Beijing, Beijing (China) (took a day)
The interviewer provided 2 case studies and asked me several brain teaser questions. The interviewer asked me to calculate the number of traffic lights in Beijing using my own experience and hunch for numbers. After I presented my results, he asked me my logic and way of computation. Basically, this is an opportunity for interviewees to show their feeling for numbers and calculation skills.

Interviewed Aug 2011 in Munich (Germany) (took a day)
First a presentation was given about the company, followed by 3 1on1 interviews. First was a fit interview with some role plays to test competencies stated on the resume. After that 2 case interviews that are again mixed with skill test such as accounting knowledge depending on the information on the applications. Very unconventional cases - as a result, standard frameworks cannot be applied.

Interviewed Apr 2011 (took 3 weeks)
The interview was overall a good experience. In my first round, I met 2 consultants which were really nice and asked me one valuation case and one enter a new market case. In my second round, I had to give a presentation. The questions they asked were pretty tough. I would definitely recommend everyone interested in management consulting to interview with this company.

Interviewed Aug 2010 in New York, NY (took 2+ weeks)
I got almost no fit questions, we went directly to the case studies. The case was invented on the spot but required a certain solution that I could not get.
