I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Boston Consulting Group in Sep 2019
Interview
The worst interview process I've ever been through. One phone interview with recruiter, another phone interview with a senior manager, another phone interview after that with a mid level manager, and then a super day of 4 interviews plus a skills test that was complete bs. Was told I'd find out in the next two days if they'd give me an offer but it ended up being more than a month later despite frequent communication with the recruiter and continual radio silence, but the real cherry on top here was that they'd taken down the job posting during the interview process, but then posted almost the exact same job AFTER my final interview and proceeded to make me wait a month before telling me they found someone else. Was strung along on the interview process for almost 4 months!!
Very intense case interviews, usually run by a project leader or senior analyst. They will ask you a lot of questions and follow up questions. Be prepared! Most of them are nice, not all, so be ready for a tough hour.
Case study and personal experiences. They give you a lot of material to prepare with, it's a lot about structured thinking. Make sure you prepare the case study structures and know what experiences you can use to answer.
They were looking for someone who would be willing to jump in to multiple roles, not just the one advertised and the pay did not reflect my expectations for the level of work they wanted.
