I applied through college or university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at L.E.K. Consulting (Chicago, IL) in Oct 2014
Interview
L.E.K. came and recruited at our campus. I went through two rounds of interviews, each round had 3 case interviews, ranging from 15-45 minute cases. The first round of cases were what you might expect, pretty straightforward and a lot of quant calculations. The second round of cases were longer, and more theoretical than about calculating the numbers.

Interviewed through university recruiting. First round was two back-to-back 30 minute interviews.

Both interviewers had read through my resume before hand and had specific questions about my experiences.
