I applied through university. I interviewed at Oliver Wyman (Cambridge, MA) in Feb 2013
Interview
I recruited through my college's recruiting system. I had to take some online math test, you can google it to get a sense of what it might be like, and even though I skipped a lot of questions and wasn't sure about the ones I answered, I still got an interview, so I don't think the test is too important. They paired me up with a buddy who was really friendly who even took time out of his day to give me a practice interview over the phone. On the day of the interview, they probably had about 100 students interview throughout the day, and I had two 30 minute interviews. The first one the guy was not that chill and seemed bored, but the case was pretty easy. The second interview, the lady was really friendly but the case was about healthcare and pretty difficult. They told me later that night at around 7 PM that I had not made it, but gave me good feedback and that I should practice more cases.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The first interview was about a start up company that paired personal trainers with clients over Skype. They asked what standards they could group the different clientele by.
The second interview question was about healthcare (which I know nothing about) and was a lot more difficult.
I applied through university. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Oliver Wyman (Stockholm, Stockholm) in Oct 2019
Interview
The first stage was sending in a cover letter and resume. The second stage was three consecutive interviews, with the duration of 30 minutes. There were 2 case interviews (consulting style) and one fit-interview. Finally, there was a logical timed math test with multiple choice questions (you ere allowed to have a calculator).

Question 1
Why are you interested in consulting? A lot of the questions involved my previous experience.
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Oliver Wyman (San Francisco, CA) in June 2018
Interview
30 min case with one consultant and then 30 min behavioral with another, at the office. The behavioral was easy and straightforward, but the case required financial and contextual knowledge that I hadn't prepared for. It did not seem like a regular business case.

Question 1
Your client is the IRS, taxing 2.4T in revenue per year. You can audit 1% of American taxpayers to get back revenue. How do you decide who to audit?
I applied through university. I interviewed at Oliver Wyman in Oct 2017
Interview
Applied through university recruiting website and was offered an interview at my school. Two 30 minute interviews, one behavioral and one case, and the interviews are back to back. Interviewers were young and friendly, but the case interview was formatted very differently than any others I had prepared for. My interviewer didn't want me to take any time to think about the problem or do any calculations, but instead he would ask hypotheticals and want to see my creative approach to answering them. For the internship, there is only one round of interviews before they extend offers.
