I applied online. The process took 2+ months. I interviewed at Boston Consulting Group in Dec 2023
Interview
The most awkward interview I have ever had in my professional life. I can understand companies are having chatbots do the screens, but when it comes to video interviews not having another person on the other end leaves a candidate in a cold and uncomfortable situation. From this point forward, I will stay away from any company that can not take the time a personally meet with candidates.

Question 1
Video interview with a chatbot. How would I consult a local newspaper on how to grow their business?
Interviewer seemed disinterested from the get go. That’s what happens when he French get involved. When I mentioned it was early AM my time, he looked surprised then managed to berate me over a misstep in my math calculation. I didn’t enjoy the interview, and wish I had gotten someone else more empathetically.
