I applied through university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Mercer (Los Angeles, CA) in Feb 2008
Interview
Submit your resume through the college recruiting system, then if chosen, you will interview with one manager from the office. If that interview goes well you will have a second interview in the office with a variety of people, most of whom you will be working with if you get the job. The interviews are mostly personality based, nothing too concrete, just trying to see how competent you are. There is a writing and excel test, which is simple and consists of recreating an excel spreadsheet.

Interview
This was an online interview out of college. Very behavioral based questions. This consisted of video recordings with a limited number of takes allowed for each response. Nothing very technical was required
Simple 5 or 6 questions, half behavioural half industry related. 2 interviewers, both asked questions equally. Atmosphere was as expected, and somewhat friendly towards asking them questions, but I would say don’t ask more than 1.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Name a time you worked in a group and dealt with conflict
First interview with team member talking about experience and projects on resume, then second interview with more senior team member diving deeper into project and resume experience. No case or technical questions
