I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at The Cambridge Group (Chicago, IL) in Oct 2015
Interview
Three interviews on campus. Two cases and one behavioral. First case was easy (no math whatsoever). Second case had simple probability and general market sizing, which wasn't hard I just didn't expect to see probability. Behavioral was tough and they obvious look candidates with heavy analytical backgrounds even from liberal arts schools. Whole process took about 2 hours.

Question 1
Be prepared to answer why Cambridge Group specifically.
I applied through college or university. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at The Cambridge Group (Chicago, IL) in Oct 2014
Interview
Two 45 minute cases with some behavioral questions sprinkled in, one 30 minute behavioral interview at the end. The first case involved market sizing, while the second case involved a new technology that was created and choosing markets and industry that would find that sort of technology useful. The first interview was with a Project Director, second with the CEO, third with another Project Director.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at The Cambridge Group (Chicago, IL)
Interview
Pretty standard consulting interview... three rounds of cases with a little bit of behavioral/get to know you thrown in. Firm really values analytics and math in the cases, so be solid there. Also every case focuses on some aspect of growth strategy. My three revolved around market sizing, customer segmentation, and pricing.

One question involved an obscure economic principle from Intermediate Micro that I didn't remember.
