I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Boston Consulting Group (Chicago, IL) in Feb 2018
Interview
Participated in off-cycle recruiting and went through two rounds of interviews, both on-site. Second / decision round interviews consisted of a written case and a standard case format with a principal and partner. One of the two interviews definitely wasn't perfect, but it's important to lay out your reasoning and make sure to support with quantitative data to the extent possible. Extremely positive interaction with everyone I've met during the process.

Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Case interview standards, sometimes a bit abstract especially on partner level
3x case interviews, interviewee led, questions about experience and relevant background, always dig deeper to understand details eg on leadership experience. Cases vary all the time, need to ne ready for anything. Thinking js rewarded
Case interview about merger and acquisition
Was medium difficulty has a lot of brainstorming and analytical elements
Required quick thinking structuring and deep analysis to really ace it easily
Practice is def mandatory and failure to do so will lead to failure
