I applied through college or university. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Boston Consulting Group (Philadelphia, PA) in Feb 2014
Interview
Interviewed at the BCG office in Philadelphia. Interviewers were very professional, nice, and encouraging. I enjoyed the experience. I kind of bungled the first interview a bit which is why I think I didn't make it to the second round.
