I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Simon-Kucher (Mountain View, CA) in Mar 2012
Interview
First I had a campus interview. The interviewer gave me one case study which was not that hard. Afterwards, I get a whole day on-site interview. I met with 5 people and also had lunch with two analysts. Most of the questions are case studies or introducing yourself or talking about a project I have done. Questions are not too hard, but might be tricky.
The recruiter or the admin who contacted me was very unprofessional. She confirmed at the very last minute of my on-site interview. What is worse, they never get back to me after my interview, not even an rejection letter.

How will you price a new toothpaste that is just going to release to the market?
I interviewed at Simon-Kucher (Stockholm, Stockholm)
Interview
I had 3, 1-hour long interviews with different people. 2 with senior consultants and the last with a director. The first was more heavy on the social aspect, with a 30 min case. The others were much shorter on the behavioural side.
I applied online. I interviewed at Simon-Kucher (Milan)
Interview
Processo nel complesso abbastanza lineare, ho applicato tramite il portale poi mi hanno fatto fare un colloquio conoscitivo e 2 casi di market sizing abbastanza semplici (ci tengono tanto a vedere come ragioni)
Went straight into case study without any behavioral questions or discussion with the interviewer. Average interview/ difficulty but I was just not prepared for the layout since it was my first consulting interview.
