I applied through university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at ZS Associates (Los Angeles, CA) in Mar 2011
Interview
First round was two interviews one behavioral, one case. The case was extremely simple and the interviewer led the whole thing which doesn't leave much room to demonstrate your intelligence. The second round was 4 interviews and lunch. The second case was similar in format to the first but with more math where you had to create an equation to solve for a variable. I screwed up the math pretty badly but I guess I did well enough on the fit portion.

Question 1
Case was about skin care company that wanted to a launch a new product
I applied through the company website, and about a month later the HR reached out to schedule a phone interview. The interview lasted only around 10 minutes, and two days afterward I was informed that I had been rejected.
Very straightforward process, 1 round of case + a final round of 1 behavioral, 1 structured case, and 1 unstructured case.
I'd recommend brushing up on your brainstorming skills and quick math.

I have only gone through the first-round interview, which was a recorded video format. The interview consisted of three behavioral-based questions, where I was given three minutes to think and prepare my response before recording my answer. Each response had a time limit of two minutes. There was no live interaction with an interviewer, and the entire process was automated.
