I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Boston Consulting Group (Boston, MA) in Feb 2013
Interview
Applied through their online portal. Two months later I was invited for an interview at their headquarters located in Boston.
First round: 2 back-to-back interviews, 45 minutes each (10 minutes of FIT questions, 30 minutes on the case, 5 minutes of Q&A). The FIT questions were pretty straight forward as were the cases themselves. That said, interpreting and generating insights from the charts/data/graphs was probably the hardest part, given the time constraints, pressure etc.
Everyone at the company was very professional and kind. All in all, a pleasant experience, however, I was disappointed that I did not receive any post-interview feedback.

The entire interview was on Hireview. Process was very smooth with only 3 questions, but you get two takes per question and adequate prep time. Be prepared to answer diversity-related questions.

Interview
They now have a new online interview segment. It is quite tough because this is completely new and I don't know what to expect in terms of their grading criteria. It definitely takes away the personal aspect and is more technical than what I prepared for.
