First, there was a screening call, then an assessment which included personality, intelligence, and creative reasoning questions. After that, I had four more calls with managing leads, my internship supervisor, researchers, and intern leads/consultant. The whole thing took about 4 months.

Behavioral Technical Other
I went through about 12-16 interviews with people at different levels. The questions were pretty much the same across all of them, and there were also general chats. They seemed more interested in whether they liked me than in my technical skills. They asked stuff about the role, the firm, and the search industry.
