I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Boston Consulting Group (Moscow, Moskva) in Sept 2017
Interview
Several stages: GMAT type questions, writing test (+presentation), interviews with consultants, principalss and partners. The recruiting team has contacted me before the case interviews and explained the structure of the interviews and shared some tips. Overall, pleasant experience. BCG website shares all the information needed to succeed at the interview.

Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Case interview standards, sometimes a bit abstract especially on partner level
3x case interviews, interviewee led, questions about experience and relevant background, always dig deeper to understand details eg on leadership experience. Cases vary all the time, need to ne ready for anything. Thinking js rewarded
Case interview about merger and acquisition
Was medium difficulty has a lot of brainstorming and analytical elements
Required quick thinking structuring and deep analysis to really ace it easily
Practice is def mandatory and failure to do so will lead to failure
