I applied online. The process took 2+ months. I interviewed at Boston Consulting Group (Prag) in Apr 2016
Interview
It was a very smooth process. I was seated in a conference room and 10 minutes later the first interviewer came in, we went through my CV and skills and afterwards there was a case study that I had to analyse and advise the company. As soon as we finished the discussion the second interviewer came in and we repeated the same process just with another case study.

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.
