I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Boston Consulting Group in Mar 2010
Interview
The company is doing really good on hiring people. From the first test I had, I felt like they are carefully guiding me through the hiring process, they were always very friendly and polite.
I had 6 rounds of interviews, including general test (GMAT-like), online case, group case discussion and three interviews with project leaders and a managing director.
Even though I did not get the job, I received a very useful feedback on my performance and I believe that this experience was a great and valuable one.
For the candidates my advice will be - you should really practice cases, as it is a main factor BCG considers during decision making. Have a structure, but not the classic frameworks like 5 forces (these piss them off).

I interviewed at Boston Consulting Group (Lisbon, Lisbon District)
Interview
A entrevista revelou algumas fragilidades, sobretudo na componente de FIT, que me pareceu algo desalinhada e com várias perguntas pouco claras e, por vezes, pouco coerentes entre si. Faltou alguma estrutura e intencionalidade nessa fase, o que acabou por tornar a experiência menos consistente. Ainda assim, o case interview decorreu dentro do esperado, alinhado com o padrão habitual das restantes consultoras, sem surpresas relevantes.
