I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Boston Consulting Group (Houston, TX) in Jun 2024
Interview
Final round: 2 interviews with 2 MDPs. Fairly standard behavioral + fit questions. Case interviews for both were difficult but manageable (1 in oil& gas, it is Houston after all)
