I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Boston Consulting Group (Toronto, ON)
Interview
(10 min behavioural + 20 min case) x 2. Pretty straight forward.
Positives:
Front desk was polite, office was nice, other associates came to chat while waiting.
Negatives:
1 principal who interviewed me made it pretty clear he didn't care to be there and told me it was his last day - which is an interesting arrangement coming from a strategy consultancy. It took them 2 months to get back to me (standard practice is <2 days). HR was unresponsive.
I interviewed at Boston Consulting Group (Jakarta)
Interview
- CV
- Online Casey
- First Round 2x interview with Principal
- Second Round 2-3x interview with Partners
Overall not very hard if you trained well, although i imagine
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
