Entrevista
I met this company initially at a University career fair, but was also referred by a current employee. The interview process was long and drawn out. I had my first phone interview within a week of talking with them at the career fair. This interview was a basic behavioral interview: asking about my background, why I studied what I did in college/grad school, and why I was interested in the company. After this, I had 2 more phone interviews over the course of a month and were designed to see how I interpreted problems and came to a solution. I then had a day long interview in Chicago in which I met with 4 different people for a series of interviews over the course of the day. The first 2 were behavioral, like the initial phone interview, and the last 2 were all about problem solving.
Overall, I noticed a lack of communication between the interviewers. I was asked the same questions by multiple people over the course of the interview process and responded with pretty much the same answer each time.

If you were present with a room with 3 lamps in it, yet the switches for the outlets controlling these lamps were outside the door, how would you determine with switch controlled each outlet in only one attempt, assuming you could not see in the room while flipping switches?

There are three rounds of interviews. The first is a simple behavior interview conducted over the phone. The second round is another phone interview, with two parts--another behavior interview, and a "logic" question. There are no case studies in any rounds--the brain teasers instead simulate the type of thinking process necessary in the consulting realm. The questions are not overly difficult, but as they do not relate to business problems, it can be hard to prepare for them, and they may not actually give you a chance to display your true skill. The final interview is held at their HQ, where you have a 4 hour interview consisting first of a Wonderlic test, followed by several one on one interviews which mix behavioral interviews with more brain teasers. Overall, the interviews are not too tough, although I did not get an offer, so perhaps I am underestimating the toughness. You just have to hope the brain teaser is one you can understand easily. Also, it may take some time for them to get back to you about whether or not you will get an offer. If you do really well, you will likely hear back immediately. Otherwise, it may take upwards of a month or longer before you hear for sure whether or not you get an offer, or if they will decline your application.

Suppose you could go back to 1990 and start any business you wanted. What would you choose? Why? What would concern you with your choice?

Very long interview process. Did not reimburse me for a day's worth of traveling to and from the interview. Felt like I did great during the interview, but got no feedback until they gave the job away two weeks later. The interview itself consisted of 4 one on ones with people who work there. Each had different questions. One focused on my resume and experiences, another asked me intelligence questions, another asked a bunch of behavioral questions.
