I met with a recruiter at a university career fair. One month later I was contacted for a brief phone interview and then invited to the McLean campus for an in-person interview. There were approximately 20 other university recruits at the campus on the day of my interview. We were divided into groups to discuss opportunities with junior employees and otherwise schmoozed about how great BAH is. I had two individual interviews, each lasting about 30 minutes in a large room where five other people were also being individually interviewed. One interview seemed to be an HR team assessing my suitability to the firm and the other was with two members of the team I was being matched with. I received a verbal offer by phone 3 days later and my formal offer a month later.

The Booz Allen consultant interview process was pretty straightforward—started with a recruiter screen, then a couple of behavioral interviews, and a case-style or problem-solving conversation. Overall, it focused a lot on teamwork, communication, and how you think through challenges. It felt professional but conversational.
