I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Boston Consulting Group (Amsterdam) in Jun 2016
Interview
Heb het gehele proces als zeer vriendelijk en ondersteunend ervaren, van begin tot eind. Goede mogelijkheid om eerst eens te komen oefenen. Bij oefensessie kreeg ik echter de indruk geschetst dat de cases erg goed gingen en ik een erg goede kans had om door te gaan naar de volgende ronde. Tijdens de eerste ronde, gingen de cases naar mijn idee redelijk, maar uiteindelijk toch niet door gegaan naar de volgende ronde.

I interviewed at Boston Consulting Group (Lissabon, Lissabon)
Interview
A entrevista revelou algumas fragilidades, sobretudo na componente de FIT, que me pareceu algo desalinhada e com várias perguntas pouco claras e, por vezes, pouco coerentes entre si. Faltou alguma estrutura e intencionalidade nessa fase, o que acabou por tornar a experiência menos consistente. Ainda assim, o case interview decorreu dentro do esperado, alinhado com o padrão habitual das restantes consultoras, sem surpresas relevantes.
