I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Boston Consulting Group (Philadelphia, PA) in Mar 2025
Interview
BCG interviews are hard because they combine elite selectivity, high-pressure business problem solving, and deep cultural/behavioral screening. But they’re also fair and trainable: strong preparation and practice give you a real shot.

Question 1

I interviewed at Boston Consulting Group (Lisbon, Lisbon District)
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.
