Difficult Interview
Application
InterviewI applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Boston Consulting Group (United States) in Sep 2019
The worst interview process I've ever been through. One phone interview with recruiter, another phone interview with a senior manager, another phone interview after that with a mid level manager, and then a super day of 4 interviews plus a skills test that was complete bs. Was told I'd find out in the next two days if they'd give me an offer but it ended up being more than a month later despite frequent communication with the recruiter and continual radio silence, but the real cherry on top here was that they'd taken down the job posting during the interview process, but then posted almost the exact same job AFTER my final interview and proceeded to make me wait a month before telling me they found someone else. Was strung along on the interview process for almost 4 months!!

InterviewI applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Boston Consulting Group (Bangalore) in Jun 2018
Was directly communicated by the HR. The in person interview was scheduled by the HR within a day. On the day of interview a case study was provided, which had to be analysed. It was followed by two more rounds of interviews. They were mostly based on the case study. The final technical interview was taken by the manager. All were very friendly and approachable. I was I informed of their decision within 3 days, and a HR round was scheduled, which was a video interview. The final decision was informed to me within the next 3 days. Overall it was a very pleasant experience.
