I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at CDW (Detroit, MI) in May 2014
Interview
There were multiple interviews with people evaluating me both on my technical knowledge and my people skills. Technical questions were CCNA level and lower for my position. Microsoft jobs would be similar I suspect. Evaluation of consulting skills were centered around questions. How would you deal with a customer who did this, or how would you handle it if a customer is asking you to do a task you dont have the technical experience to handle yet.

Question 1
Tell me the one thing about yourself you want me to take away with me when I leave this interview.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at CDW (Chicago, IL)
Interview
I was referred by another employee and heard back for an interview within a week or so if I remember correctly. Multiple culture fit / interpersonal interviews and a technical. Everything was fully remote, but pretty standard as far as interviews go. What stood out however was the quick communication and decision making compared to other interview processes. I had a recruiter to answer any questions along the way, and everyone involved was transparent with the process and any feedback.

Question 1
There was the standard "describe a time" type of questions for most of the non technical interviews. Since this role involves an immense amount of learning, the technical questions covered more fundamental concepts. I was asked to do a for loop, but the majority of the questions didn't require much more coding than that. There was one back end concept that I was unfamiliar with so be sure to think full stack in your preparations. Also as a future consultant your ability to navigate a question you aren't familiar with will shine here.

HR emailed me, I answered back. HR rescheduled because she was out of office the day I said I want to interview. Rescheduled no problem, Did my interview, doesn't answer my follow up. Very disappointed by their HR.
