I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Boston Consulting Group in Nov 2024
Interview
To start with, it was my first time applying/interviewing for a consulting company & I wasn't prepared. Got invited to an online test, which was quite easy. Next step was an 1:1 interview- they reached out to me late night and I had to take the interview on Saturday which was very unexpected... I didn't do well on the case interview and got rejected. The interviewer wasn't friendly (I guess as she was working in the weekends) but she did give me feedback during the way, so overall the experience was okay.

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
