I applied online. I interviewed at ZS Associates in Nov 2017
Interview
You can only apply through the online application form. Before applying you are prompted to submit a full disclosure of your current income and an overview of your financial details for the past 5 (!) years.
This may or may not be normal practice in the US but in Japan this is not an acceptable question to ask. It violates one's privacy and certainly isn't relevant at the start of your application.
I concluded three things:
1) the ZS hiring process does not match the markets they're active in
2) this will most likely be the case for their market strategies as well
3) your salary will be based on what you did for your previous employer and does not reflect your value to ZS
I canceled the application.

I interviewed at ZS Associates (South San Francisco, CA)
Interview
It was pretty straightforward. Started with a recruiter phone screen, then proceeded to another basic case, then two more cases after that and an interview with one of the partners. They were all very kind.
The interview process consists of three rounds, each lasting 30 minutes or so. It includes a behavioral interview to assess fit and two case interviews to evaluate analytical and problem-solving skills.
