I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 6 months. I interviewed at Booz Allen Hamilton (Washington, DC) in Aug 2010
Interview
Very long and drawn out process. Six months from when I first met the recruiter to when I received an offer letter. Had to meet people who were my colleagues, worked in the same market and then a partner. Booz Allen ascribes to the 4-domain interview process: consulting skills, leadership, business development, technical skills. Each interviewer is given one of the four domains to cover. Make sure you have good stories for each domain. They value energy, measurable indicators for success and a spirit of collaboration.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Describe your greatest failure and how you learned from it
The interview process was fairly simple, they went through my resume and the interview questions were behavior based. I think if you prepare you’ll be fine. The panel that I interviewed with was straight to the point. However with all of the changes they are doing mass layoffs so be aware before accepting a role

Question 1
More behavioral based questions if you know you’re resume you’ll be fine
Talked to recruiter and the hiring manager afterwards. Was straight forward. Not too many steps that made it complicated. Talked to another a separate recruiter with offer. Discussed background check and such. Background check can take up to 10 days
