The process consisted of a written application (CV + CL), followed by online tests, HR interview, then a final assessment day.
The HR interview was motivation and fit, the assessment day was split into 2 interview; 1 being a case study the other fit.

The HR interview was nice and friendly so too was the first interview on the assessment day. (Why consulting? Why SKP? Describe a time you have changed your approach? What does a consultant do?)
The case study was ridiculous, given 2 hours to read 102 slides then get asked case study question (cost to treat a disease, what recommendations , what would you price drug X at and how would you approach that).
I think the worse thing was the feedback. I was rejected by someone from the HR team who I had never spoken to before and when I asked 'which interview did I need to explain my answers more concisely in?' She didn't event know I had two interviews.

2 interviews- 1 general HR chat. Mainly why SK, and other behavioural questions. Second interview was actually an assessment centre in the London office. Given two hours to prepare your case and make a presentation on it. Lots of articles and data to read through. Presentation was in front of a partner and a consultant. Quite hard and time pressured

The first round was not nerve-racking at all and they just go to know you. I did not make it to the second round, so I am not sure how the technical part was.
