      Data Scientist Interview

      Boston, MA
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Boston Consulting Group (Boston, MA) in Mar 2022

      Interview

      - Hackerrank quiz - Pair coding - Virtual on-site with 3x 1-hour interviews (2 case studies and 1 partner interview) tl;dr: Was nervous during my first case interview which lead the partner to be verbally abusive. Interested? Read on: Did well on the Pair coding going into my onsite. The first interview was with the hiring manager a day before the other 2 interviews. I was pretty nervous going into it, and the hiring manager could tell. He was super nice though, and we ended up having a good discussion. At that point, I was pretty sure I bombed it and would have my other interviews canceled. I've seen on this site that can happen. However, no email so I thought OK I may still have a chance. Did well on the second case interview so I felt I had some momentum going into the Partner interview. The partner came on the call and he was clearly very angry and aggressive. I took this as a good sign that I was being seriously evaluated for the position and that I had an opportunity to perform. Had the mood been light I would've guessed I wasn't being taken seriously. So I gave my best effort to describe my background and projects and make a case for why I should be hired. The partner proceeded to rip my CV to shreds. He went item-by-item through my work and research and explained how each was irrelevant to what they do at BCG. He asked about a project I worked on, where I had only intermediate results before leaving to take another job, and concluded the entire project was a waste of resources. He then went on to insult me personally. I imagine this dude does some important stuff and is pretty well connected, so I'm a little reticent to write this, but I felt it should be said. I still think it was a good opportunity and worth the risk for this high-paying job. I accept I messed up the interview. I'm just hoping people who read this will be aware, I guess, that this is a possibility and can be prepared mentally if things go south. GL.
