I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Boston Consulting Group (Chicago, IL) in Mar 2019
Interview
I was first contacted via email in January, though I cold-applied in August. The interview was scheduled in March, and was the typical two candidate-led cases with Associate Consultants. HR was extremely defunct as they scheduled the hotel reservation for the wrong date until I caught their mistake. The feedback and result were supposed to be communicated within two business days; however, it took nearly 3 weeks. They mentioned other opportunities that would be available for me after I was recommended not to move forward; however, they did not have any details nor did they follow-up after my numerous attempts to contact them. Finally, they did not fully reimburse me for my travels.

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.
