I applied online. I interviewed at Boston Consulting Group in Mar 2022
Interview
The interview process was generally very much as outlined. Once you make it past the CV screening, you get invited to a first interview. This interview has a personal fit/ self-presenting part plus a first case study. You get very detailed feedback on your first feedback rather quickly - in my case within 1 day. I cannot report on the follow-up interviews as I signed another offer before the start of the second round, which would have been two additional case studies as I was told.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How would you assess the benefit for a client entering a related industry without prior/ proprietary knowledge?
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.
