I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Booz Allen Hamilton (McLean, VA) in Feb 2013
Interview
Following an initial screening call, I had a three part interview. In the first stage, I spoke with one interviewer who asked questions about my academic and professional background. In the second stage, I spoke with one interviewer who gave me a hypothetical situation I needed to create a communication plan for. In the final stage, I spoke with two interviewers who asked me about my experience as a consultant.
I applied through college or university. The process took 6 months. I interviewed at Booz Allen Hamilton
Interview
Worked with University Recruitment Staff during the selection and interview process. Initial interview consisted of a general phone screen covering background, previous work experience, etc. After 2 weeks of waiting for a preliminary determination, the final interview was scheduled about a month after the process kicked off. The final interview consisted of a phone interview with 4 Booz Allen Hamilton staff asking a series of questions related to my career aspirations, experience working within teams, large scale projects that I had worked on in school or various internships, etc. The verbal offer came fairly quickly - 2 to 3 weeks after the final interview, but formal paperwork (a signed offer letter from a Partner) did not materialize until 3 to 4 months after the final interview. The particular recruiter I was working with was good at keeping me up to date regarding status of the formal offer.
