The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Booz Allen Hamilton in Aug 2011
Interview
A friend recommended me for the position. I first received an email from HR asking to complete an online profile and to setup a phone interview. After the phone screen, HR asked to set up the office interview. This took some time as it was reportedly a challenge to find a time for the interview team to all meet. The interview consisted of five separate 30 minute interviews; most of which ran long. The first was with the the hiring manager, then followed by three members of the project team. The final interview was the hiring manager's manager. After the interviews, I received a follow-up call from HR and they gave me next steps. After about one week, I received a call from the hiring manager of the offer. A formal letter offer came in the mail. After the call from the hiring manager, I also received a call from the Project Manager from the team. Overall, the group is looking for a specific skill (met that criteria from my resume and it got me in the door) and fit within the team and firm (this was from the interviews).

Interview
Overall an easy and pleasant experience. The internal recruiter was helpful and responsive, and the interview process itself was smooth. The hiring manager moved quickly to get me in an interview, and followed up quickly with an offer. Initial impressions of the company and my future colleagues were very positive. The interview/hiring experience definitely affected my decision to join Booz Allen Hamilton.

Question 1
No terribly difficult questions. Interview focused more on "fit" rather than my specific skillset.

Interview
Have had three interviews now with two different teams so far. Both teams conducted on site interviews combining one on one and group interviews. No real surprises and plenty of candid give and take about the firm's culture, business and prospects. Very collegial, but they also were pretty artful about inserting "real" interview questions into the discussion.
