      General Consultant Interview

      Nov 15, 2018
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Lisbon, Lisbon District
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Boston Consulting Group (Lisbon, Lisbon District) in Nov 2018

      Interview

      The process is well described in the company website. It starts by submitting your resume (CV), with transcriptions and cover letter. The last is not mandatory, but I submitted. Then, HR sent me an email where they said that my CV was appreciated, confirming that I would go to the office do the 1st stage of the recruitment process, an online test. After arranging the date, the HR contact sent me a online test example and rules. They were nice and accessible. Nonetheless, it is difficult for someone of non-business area to prepare, because most documents available on internet are referent to the business case interviews. My advice is to practice other consultant companies business cases (eg, McKinsey, Bain, ATKearney, Oliver Wyman...).

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Calculate profits, revenues or profit margins. Interpretation of the business cases and questions regarding it.
