I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Boston Consulting Group (Budapest) in Sept 2015
Interview
Difficult process, but it was fair and in a friendly atmosphere. There are many calculations, which are not hard, but it is easy to make errors. The downside is the lousy HR personnel, below expectations and clearly not at the professional level of BCG consultants: confused, disordered, and superficial, enough to ruin the otherwise positive experience.

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
