I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Strategy& (Londra, Inghilterra)
Interview
1st round: 2 case study interviews (one structured - meaning you get a booklet of 10+ pages to read before you begin, one unstructured - meaning you can get asked pretty much anything the interviewer would like, including things on the CV) + diagrammatic and numerical tests (not different from the ones you do online) + written report test (not difficult, just time-pressured)
2nd round: 2 case study interview (similar to the ones you get in first round) + presentation (30 mins to read through a booklet of 15-20 pages, and come up with a presentation immediately afterwards; very time-pressured) + group exercise (typical big 4 AC group exercise)
Interviewers were friendly, but the most engaged interviewer allegedly failed my part of the interview. So friendliness may not be a good gauge of the outcome, as with most interviews.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What do you think you will be doing at the company? Why consulting? Why Strategy&?

OA->VI->AC->Final Round Interview Day(In person). Final round consisted of market sizing case and presentation case in the morning. Then they decide who makes it to the afternoon, if you make it you then have a partner interview.
