I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Boston Consulting Group (London, England) in Nov 2018
Interview
One online test, with 23 questions, very analytical and numeric, the last part of the questions were basically logical in relation to the case study of the test, so last five questions were easy. Second round consisted of two case studies one with a principal and a manager. The case study of the manager didn't make much sense to me and i still can't determine the solution but was fairly easy and i think i did well, either ways the manager seemed tired and uninterested in interviewing me since i was the last candidate, we just started the case study and he often appeared rude maybe to put me on pressure. The principal was much nicer but with a more complicated case which i could easily answer. He appeared much interested on my prior work experience and ability to cope with negative feedback and i feel he wasn't satisfied with my answer, he was much friendly than the manager but i believe i lost the job because i wasn't too calm and had little prior work experience.
