Interview process began with a phone screening about a month and a half after I applied. After the phone screening I heard in a week that I had been offered a second round interview. Due to the holidays the second round interview was about 2 weeks after the phone screening. Offers are made after the second round interview.

I was contacted for a preliminary phone interview about a month after I submitted my application. This interview was with the HR rep, who was nice enough, but couldn't tell me what the responsibilities/tasks were of the position I was applying to. In fact, when I pressed her about what the job entails, she read the job listing back to me verbatim. My in-person interview a week following the phone interview was alright--the two interviewers were nice--but they could also not tell me what the position would entail. In fact, they couldn't give me any concrete explanation of what I would be doing in this position, and the vague information they could give me seemed to barely involve any research at all. Everyone was nice enough, but it was an extremely opaque process--consulting is certainly a general/vague profession, but if your interviewers can't give you an idea of the work you'd be doing, or what they're looking for, it's a red flag. I got an email about a week after my final interview letting me know they were pursuing another candidate, and I can't say I wasn't a little relieved.
