Boston Consulting Group

When evaluating an offer’s health insurance plan, what are the elements to be considered? Monthly premium pulled from my paycheck, annual deductible or copay. Is there anything else to keep in mind? As much description as possible is helpful as I’m very early in my career and BCG had a very simple $5 copay on everything in network policy.

I applied online. I interviewed at Boston Consulting Group (Chicago, IL)

Interview

Online one way interview to get into Bridge2BCG program and a pymetrics test alongside the other standard application materials, like resume and background. Was followed by a recruiting event and 2 rounds of interviews. One included an online case component and a fit check, which was just friendly questions about myself and my background. Second round was with a couple partners in the traditional case interview style. Most questions were very open ended in both round 1 and 2.
