I applied through university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Booz Allen Hamilton (Arlington, VA) in Jan 2008
Interview
Their HR department is horrible. First off, they accidentally cc'ed me on an email making fun of my name and/or request to reschedule the on-site interview (since they had given me notice to fly out about three days prior, I thought this was justified). They apologized to me after I emailed them about this. Then, at the interview they were missing the third person, and so could not make a decision without the three interviewers present. Additionally, I said I was interested in a certain area, and they put me in an interview for areas that were in no way related. I have heard similar stories of bad HR about Booz from other people as well. Hopefully they will fix this before their HR turns off all good candidates. I was not interested in the company after this interview experience and did not bother to follow up.
The Booz Allen consultant interview process was pretty straightforward—started with a recruiter screen, then a couple of behavioral interviews, and a case-style or problem-solving conversation. Overall, it focused a lot on teamwork, communication, and how you think through challenges. It felt professional but conversational.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Can you describe a time where you had to lead a project?
It was easy no case study just talked to two people back to back. I think they were two thirty minute interviews. They can be from different accounts and just walked through your resume
Two interviews one with my job lead and one with my career manager. Typical questions about you and your resume. Both interviews were virtual and about 30 minutes in length.
