Two round interview process. Two 45-minute fit and case on campus. Was called the next day for another two 45-minute fit and case at the office I applied for. Second round was more unstructured than the first, cases were less standard and more curveball.
Received an offer a few hours after my second round. Entire process was quick, professional, and friendly.

First stage is a GMAT-style quantitative exam, if you pass the exam and the CV screen you are given interviews.
First round is two interviews with Consultants, each had a 10-15min fit portion, a 30min case, and then some time for questions. Same format for second round but interviewers were partners/principals.

Very quick - took 6 days from first round interview to receiving offer. Very professional, extremely courteous recruiters and employees. Everyone was looking to help out, which is not always the norm. Employees seem to genuinely love the firm.
