I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Cambridge Associates, LLC (Arlington, VA) in Jan 2013
Interview
An initial telephone screening was followed promptly by an interview. Interview was comprised of a presentation about the company followed by three 30-minute interviews with different department managers. Two of the three interviewers appeared completely disinterested, one displaying an arrogance that bordered on rude, while only the third showed any kind of interest in, or euthusiasm, for my application/interview.

I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Cambridge Associates, LLC
Interview
5 rounds in total, phone interview(HR), associates interview, case study, MD interview, random round interview with other office and a small case study. The process is intense but gives a good exposure to the job. most colleges are very friendly and nice except one lady. The team is relatively small and they stick to the idea of a global organization, so it requires agreement from all offices for even one job placement. It is rather inflexible in such modern pace

extensive process for the position, interviewed with 20 people over 3 separate days, one on one with managers and group interviews with peers. very behavioral and they want to make sure you dont leave the firm within a year. the overall experience was okay.

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Cambridge Associates, LLC in Sep 2014
Interview
Went in for a "superday" like they have at many different places in the financial world. Met with 6 or 7 people - most were very nice and asked arbitrary questions about my resume and background. I was asked to present my case interview and drilled with questions - some that I could answer and some that I was unable to. The point of this was to get me out of my comfort zone. Be prepared for this.

Question 1
Plenty of very specific questions regarding parts of my case study - some that I could not have known the answers to.
