I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at ZS Associates in Aug 2009
Interview
Inital phone interview with questions relating to how you would use data in Excel/Access to sort and rank the best areas for Pharma sales. Why ZS? Know how a Pharma sales force works and what data could be used to target MDs for sales calls.
1:1 interview onsite (written case interview with AC, name a time when you had to use your quantitative skills with a Manager, fit interview with a Principal)

Question 1
Talk about a time when you had to use data to solve a problem. What did you do?
Phone screening > 2 case study interviews + personality/fit/general interview > offer. There was 3 month gap between phone screening and getting offered the first interview which was not the most ideal.

Question 1
Typical case study questions that you will be asked in consulting interviews. There was a qualitative case with one interviewer and a quantitative case (with graphs/figures) with another interviewer.
There are three interviews in 1 day -- 1 behavioral, 1 unstructured case, 1 structured case. There are 3 different interviewers per interview, where you will engage with a few managers, consultants, and associate principals

Question 1
Tell me a time where you were stressed / overwhelmed and how did you handle it, in a team environment?
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at ZS Associates
Interview
Very pleasant and straight forward. Consisted of 2 rounds - the first one being one case, and the second being two case interviews and one behavioral. You have about a week notice between rounds, which gives time to prep. There are also practice cases online that help a lot!
