      Consultant Interview

      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through college or university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Boston Consulting Group

      Interview

      Applied through campus recruiting for a full time position, and after a number of networking events and the resume drop, was notified that I was selected to interview. 1st round interviews were on campus. A few days before the first round interview, BCG arranged a mock case interview with a consultant which went smoothly. First round consisted of two interviews, the first one with a consultant and the second with a principal. My first interview went fine - after relating a behavioral story, I received a case asking to diagnose why profitability was declining, and correctly identified the root cause and came up with suggestions. I was nervous and made a few errors in my math. My second interview was also a profitability case, but I was less successful, as I couldn't develop a rapport with the interviewer and grew discouraged trying to find the "right insight" to diagnose why the client had so low profit margins. I did not advance to the next round, my key feedback being that I jumped to conclusions and didn't show enough drive and excitement as I tackled the case. In general, however, BCG's recruiting process was professional, and in contrast to the financial services industry, gave clear feedback and the recruiters were responsive and helpful.

      Question 1

      My second interview did not really have a behavioral "story time" type question, but I just walked the principal through my resume.

      Average interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Boston Consulting Group (Kuala Lumpur)

      Interview

      Got to second round with 4 different interviewees who were all generally quite laid back and easy to talk to. Case studies were quite challenging but interviewees will guide you through it.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Classic fit questions e.g. tell me about yourself, intention and rationale to joining BCG
