I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at GLG (San Francisco, CA) in Nov 2016
Interview
You won't get in unless you apply with a referral, through campus recruiting, went to University of Texas or Colgate, or apply for the bulk hiring of the summer and fall junior associate classes. Generally, it's the application, a phone call with HR, a phone interview with the hiring manager, then a case study, then an onsite interview and then an offer.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at GLG
Interview
Pretty straightforward. Couple phone interviews and a case study. Do your homework on the business model and what they do. Interviewers were respectful and responsive. Frankly, it was a very quick interview process and they didn't waste your time.

Interview
Three interviews. Friendly managers who were all women. It felt like a conversation rather than a hard pressing interview. You walked through the office so it was nice to see people interacting and working the way you potentially would be.

Interview
1 Phone Interview with HR Personnel - Quite a nice, relaxed chat with questions about my understanding of the role, me as a person and why I believe to be a good fit for this role. Very standard "Name me a time you had to work in a team..." type excersises
2 Assessment Centres in London, each with 3 one on one interviews.
In the first round the interviews was with more junior staff and involved one standard interview about the role and me as a person, a role play where I had to pretend to call a prospective member to join the GLG network and a case study of the research work.
In the second round the 3 interviews were with more senior staff and regarded me as a person and my suitability to the company
