I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Booz Allen Hamilton (McLean, VA) in Jan 2014
Interview
The hiring process was entirely too long. I interviewed previously for a contracts position. Several months later I was called about a completely different position. The interview process was deceitful in regards to expected day to day responsibilities and work environment. The interview consisted of several different groups of people asking basically the same questions. Standard behavioral and technical contracts questions were asked. However, in hind-sight the interviews seemed rushed, like they were too busy and needing to get back to their proposals. I should have noticed then that this was not a good sign. The schedule was scattered as I had finished and been escorted out of the building, only to be called 10minutes later on my way home to turn around and come back to speak to yet another level of management.

Question 1
They did not ask many technical questions as they were too busy. They just wanted to make sure I was competent and able to explain my previous work experience.
I applied through college or university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Booz Allen Hamilton (Tysons Corner, VA) in Mar 2014
Interview
I was working on my MBA and Booz was recruiting at my school; a top 25 business school. They invited the students to apply for finance consultant positions. I sent my email/CV and after a week, I first had a phone interview. It was very general about my previous job experience and my background in finance at school. After that I had an in person which lasted for about an hour and I interviewed with 3 different people. Once again it was straight forward questions about my previous leadership; why I want to work at Booz; discuss a time where I had to make tough decision while being a manager at work.

Question 1
One question that was asked which was somewhat unique was as follows: If I look at how long it takes me to get to school from my home; how could I decrease the time it took by 25%.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Booz Allen Hamilton (Washington, DC) in Jun 2014
Interview
I was contacted a week prior to my interview for a phone screening. HR asked me questions about my experience and what my salary expectations were. The latter kind of threw me off because I wasn't sure what the range was so I settled on the average salary for my career field which I had researched.
The interview itself was fairly straight forward. I was brought into a conference room and a team member from each part of the office came in. It was kind of a tag team approach, as one finished they would go grab the next person. . I really liked that because they all had different perspectives and explained what their piece of the puzzle was that ultimately contributes to the client's needs.

Question 1
I felt really over prepared for the experience because they didn't ask any behavioral questions or any typical interview questions really. The only question they did ask was why I wanted to work for the company.
