I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Boston Consulting Group (Sydney) in Feb 2016
Interview
Friendly and professional from start to finish, very well organized. Started with phone screen and then a discussion of what to expect going forward. HR contacted me just before my first face-to-face interview to check on how I was doing and if I had any last minute questions. After that, I moved through 3x interview days, each one consisting of back to back 1-hr interviews with 2x BCG employees, with increasing seniority.
It was almost exactly as described online, some personality/behavioral questions, followed by a case interview and then time for you to ask them some questions.
The case interview is often a project that the interviewer themselves worked on, so you cannot predict what it will be like; it pays to study the cases on BCG's website as well as practising case interview techniques in general.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why consulting? Why BCG? If you were a consultant for this firm, what would you advise them?
The interviewer had to change time the day before even if it was scheduled 1month ago. I had two interviews. The first interviewer seemed quite indifferent. They were both nice conversation tho.
Muy estándar, en total 2 rondas con 2 entrevistas cada una. La primera ronda suele ser más fácil, pero la última con los partners sí te hacen mucho stress test y challenge.
