The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Boston Consulting Group in Oct 2010
Interview
Two interviews, first interviewer was a bit nicer and informal, the second was more formal. The experience overall was more of a discussion than a "test".
After a brief motivational and experience part, there was the case (quite doable, but got confused on numbers in the second case) and then Q&A (very important!).
First case was a cost-benefit analysis of a governmental initiative, then an M&A case.
Messed up on second case, will try again next year!

I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Boston Consulting Group (São Paulo, São Paulo)
Interview
Prova GMAT+ Case + inglês seguida de duas rodadas de duas case interview. Entrevistas bem desafiadoras e exigentes já que o entrevistador somente responde suas perguntas e não dá muitas informações sobre o case.
L'interview m'a parue peu professionnelle, alors que je m'attendais à quelque chose de très carré. L'interviewer était complètement à côté de ses pompes, il s'est même perdu dans le case qu'il me proposait. C'était vraiment étonnant, je me suis même demandé si c'était une stratégie pour me tester.
