I applied online. The process took 12 months. I interviewed at Boston Consulting Group (Londres, Inglaterra)
Interview
Began with an initial screening which is quite simple, it is good to know as much about the company as possible and then just some basic questions such as what is a random forest. Then move on to a coding test which focuses on standard data manipulation etc. so need to be familar with pandas and there are also some other questions about dimensionality reduction, feature engineering etc. Then move on to case interviews where you do a mixture of business and technical cases but they all seemed quite similar to me. The person giving the case will usually choose something related to their background so be familair with their background and the type of projects they work on.
