I applied online. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Boston Consulting Group (Brussels) in Sep 2015
Interview
I applied online, and they got back to me within the week. After that, the process was pretty long and included 3 rounds of interviews:
- 1st round: computer-based test + 1 hour case + fit interview
- 2nd round: in-basket case + 1 hour case + fit interview
- 3rd round: in-basket case + 1 hour case + fit interview
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
- Computer-based test: answer 24 questions in 20 minutes, similar to McKinsey's test. Resembles to GMAT's Integrated Reasoning, but MUCH harder.
- Regular Cases: interviewee-led, to some extend. BIG focus on the framework (really important to have a fine structure).
- In-basket case: soooo freakin' hard ! They give you a pile of information about a case, and you have 3 questions to answer.based on that. You are alone in a room for 2 hours to prepare, and then present your findings during a 20' presentation.
1e tour : 1 entretien et 1 test en ligne
2e tour : 1 entretien et 1 cas écrit
3e tour : 1 entretien
Chaque entretien est composé d'une partie fit, une étude de cas et un temps d'échange

Caso online con un bot de 35 minutos de duración, con preguntas tanto cualitativas como numéricas. Luego, había que hacer un video proponiendo una solución al caso dedicado al CEO de la empresa, de duración de 1 minuto con preparación anterior.
