The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Boston Consulting Group in Sep 2011
Interview
In order to get an interview, apart from having my resume/cover letter on point, I had to attend the company presentation on my campus, sign up for a chat with a recruiter and email all the people I met. I think their people are pretty much straight laced, type A's. Few people were genuinely cool or interesting but if you can get in at BCG more power to you. My two first round case interviews were straight forward, both of which involved numbers and if done without the pressure of an interview aren't really complicated. Keep your cool.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What three qualities do you think are most important for consulting? [after you answer] Now describe situations demonstrating all three of those qualities in yourself.
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
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Boston Consulting Group (São Paulo, São Paulo)
Interview
Prova GMAT+ Case + inglês seguida de duas rodadas de duas case interview. Entrevistas bem desafiadoras e exigentes já que o entrevistador somente responde suas perguntas e não dá muitas informações sobre o case.
L'interview m'a parue peu professionnelle, alors que je m'attendais à quelque chose de très carré. L'interviewer était complètement à côté de ses pompes, il s'est même perdu dans le case qu'il me proposait. C'était vraiment étonnant, je me suis même demandé si c'était une stratégie pour me tester.
