I applied online. The process took 5 months. I interviewed at Boston Consulting Group (Berlin) in Feb 2019
Interview
Beworben habe ich mich auf ein Event, für das ich nicht eingeladen wurde, jedoch im Anschluss kontaktiert und an die Fachabteilung weitergeleitet wurde.
Ich habe insgesamt 5 Gespräche an zwei Tagen und einen online Test am ersten Tag absolviert. Drei Gespräche waren per Videokonferenz. Alle Gesprächspartner waren sehr sympatisch, konzentriert. Im Anschluss an jeden Tag habe ich zeitnah aufschlussreiches und nachvollziehbares Feedback erhalten. Als Bewerber mit Berufserfahrung kann der Prozess und die Rückmeldungen etwas länger dauern, da die Praxisgruppen mehr involviert sind und deren Verfügbarkeit beschränkt ist.
