I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Kaiser Permanente (Oakland, CA) in Apr 2015
Interview
I had a three part interview process: First interviewed with Senior Manager and then his direct reports (the team of peers for the position). I was called back to interview with another Senior Manager in whose organization the consultant position would be working. Passed the first set great but the second Manager did not see me having sufficient executive presence. I was more relaxed with this second manager as I thought that I had already been approved to move forward as a viable candidate. I was wrong...as the second manager told me at the end of the interview that "they were looking at other candidates." :(

Question 1
Questions were a lot about my relevant experience to the consultant position.
Round 1 was a brief screening discussion and round 2 was a brief behavioral/experience questions. Round 2 felt as if a decision had already been made and they were just checking the boxes that they interviewed at least 3 people.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Kaiser Permanente (Pasadena, CA) in Nov 2008
Interview
The interview process was very similar to other management consulting interviews. There are 3 rounds of interviews, 1) meet with 2 staff consultants, 2) meet with a Sr. Manager and a staff consultant, 3) meet with the managing director. Both first rounds are very similar in that you discuss your resume in greater detail, they ask you clarifying questions, and then you go into a brief case study. I would not stress about the case study if you have either worked as a management consultant before or you have prepared yourself by doing case study prep work. Compared to my two previous employers which were a Big 4 consulting firm and the management consulting department in a large healthcare company, I found this case study on the easier end of the spectrum. The third round consists with meeting the managing director which is more of a personality and fit based interview. The style is more of an informal conversation than an interview.
I would recommend that you make sure you can speak clearly and concisely about your previous work or school experience and that you have prepped well with case studies and you should be fine.
