I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at The Cambridge Group (Chicago, IL)
Interview
Pretty standard consulting interview... three rounds of cases with a little bit of behavioral/get to know you thrown in. Firm really values analytics and math in the cases, so be solid there. Also every case focuses on some aspect of growth strategy. My three revolved around market sizing, customer segmentation, and pricing.

I applied through university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at The Cambridge Group (Chicago, IL) in Oct 2015
Interview
Three interviews on campus. Two cases and one behavioral. First case was easy (no math whatsoever). Second case had simple probability and general market sizing, which wasn't hard I just didn't expect to see probability. Behavioral was tough and they obvious look candidates with heavy analytical backgrounds even from liberal arts schools. Whole process took about 2 hours.

I applied through university. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at The Cambridge Group (Chicago, IL) in Oct 2014
