I applied through college or university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Boston Consulting Group (Chicago, IL) in Nov 2019
Interview
Main application submission, first round case interview, final round case interview. I only got to the first round interview and didn't get the final round. The first round was two case interviews back-to-back. The cases themselves were okay, not too challenging nor too easy. Having them back to back was what made it difficult.

Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Case interview standards, sometimes a bit abstract especially on partner level
3x case interviews, interviewee led, questions about experience and relevant background, always dig deeper to understand details eg on leadership experience. Cases vary all the time, need to ne ready for anything. Thinking js rewarded
Case interview about merger and acquisition
Was medium difficulty has a lot of brainstorming and analytical elements
Required quick thinking structuring and deep analysis to really ace it easily
Practice is def mandatory and failure to do so will lead to failure
