I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at The Frankel Group in Feb 2013
Interview
Phone interview lasted 45min. Standard case interview. The question was led by a junior-level consultant who had just completed a project analogous to the case.
I applied through other source. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at The Frankel Group (New York, NY) in Nov 2011
Interview
Initial phone chat with a recruiting manager out of their Cambridge office. General explanation of firm culture was given. They had me briefly walk through my resume.
On site interview was about 4 weeks later at their NY office. Lunch chat with two junior members of firm who were extremely sociable and relatively transparent about firm. That was followed by a 1hr 15 minute case analysis and presentation of calculations/conclusion.
Final 45 minute traditional case with a Principal. Another managing director came in to interview me for about 10 minutes w "fit" questions.
I walked out with mixed feelings, mostly to them having many non-scientist MBA's working on projects that are heavily grounded in science.
