I applied through college or university. The process took 7 weeks. I interviewed at Booz Allen Hamilton
Interview
I sent in my resume through a university hiring initiative and got a call to schedule an interview time within 12 hours. I interviewed with two people who would have been my supervisors ,three days later. The interview was mostly easy and involved a lot of current events questions. However, it was obvious that they had not looked at my resume beforehand because they asked if I spoke Spanish and if I had a security clearance or had lived in the DC area, which one glance at my resume would have indicated I did not. They told me I would know within two weeks. After multiple phone calls and emails, no one responded. Seven weeks later I got an email from the university career services office on their behalf saying that I was not selected. They did not even tell me themselves but had to go through an intermediary. Overall, I was very disappointed that it took so long and that this was obviously such a haphazard process.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
I was asked to explain contemporary Mexican politics in detail when absolutely nothing on my resume or in the job description indicated any knowledge about Latin America or Mexico.
I applied in-person. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Booz Allen Hamilton (Tampa, FL) in Jul 2012
Interview
Absolutely disgusting. BAH won a Governemnt contract bid and interviewed many of the personnel that worked for the previous contractor. We were invited to an "open house" after hours 5:30 pm and then asked to stay for interviews with BAH personnel and their sub contractor companies that were not even aware of what they would be doing for the government.

Question 1
What exactly do you currently do for the government customer? The interviewer did not know what the duties were for the position I held and was being interviewed for again.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 5 months. I interviewed at Booz Allen Hamilton in Mar 2009
Interview
Initial contact was by email, followed by a scheduled phone interview. After it seemed I met the requirements for the position, I was told I would be called back for a group interview. There was a several month gap between this phone interview and the actual interview, which prompted me to follow up with them by email (tactfully.) I was finally able to interview in person, it was a round-robin style interview where I sat in a room and 5 people were scheduled to interview me one after the other. Everyone was very pleasant and nice. The interview panel consisted of the HR person, and members of the team where the job was available. The interview location was very classy and the company very polished in appearance.
