I applied through college or university. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at ZS Associates (Evanston, IL) in Feb 2014
Interview
Round 1- One case interview and one behavioral interview. Interviews were conducted by managers and partners.
Round 2- One case interview, one behavioral interview, and one written case presentation. The case and behavioral interview was conducted by partners. For the written case I was given a deck of about 30 slides and a problem statement. I had 45 minutes to go through the information and create a power-point presentation that presented my analysis and solutions. I then had a few minutes to present to two managers, followed by a questions.
I interviewed on-campus for round 1 and in Evanston for round 2.

Question 1
Tell me about a time you worked in a team
Tell me about a time you worked with a challenging person
I applied through the company website, and about a month later the HR reached out to schedule a phone interview. The interview lasted only around 10 minutes, and two days afterward I was informed that I had been rejected.
Very straightforward process, 1 round of case + a final round of 1 behavioral, 1 structured case, and 1 unstructured case.
I'd recommend brushing up on your brainstorming skills and quick math.

I have only gone through the first-round interview, which was a recorded video format. The interview consisted of three behavioral-based questions, where I was given three minutes to think and prepare my response before recording my answer. Each response had a time limit of two minutes. There was no live interaction with an interviewer, and the entire process was automated.
