      Associate Consultant Interview

      Jan 25, 2024
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Tokyo
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2+ months. I interviewed at Boston Consulting Group (Tokyo) in Jan 2024

      Interview

      Originally applied for the London office, got rejected from there... my 3rd option was Tokyo... they reached out to me and I went through the following: Test: Simple math test with numerical part and behavioural part (with over 370 questions in behavioural!!) 1st Round Interview: I only had 1 interview in this round. The nice guy told me I could do the behavioural part in Japanese (10 minutes with just jikoshoukai) and the case in English. They come up with a case (fermi estimation) off the top of their head on the spot based on you, your hobbies, the place youre from, whatever works for them. They gave me "How many Japanese students are in the UK". This I did in english, and went very well. This case lasted 30 minutes. 2nd round: This guy was the worst. I thought it would be the same 10 mins of behavorial in Japanese and then the case in English, but he chose to keep it all in Japanese - even though the recruiting team told me that I can choose to do the interview in either partially in English and mostly Japanese or partially in Japanese and mostly English... nevertheless, same structure as before but the interview was 45 minutes... same fermi estimation... I got: "What would be the daily sales of your nearby supermarket?"... he was quite arrogant, and frankly looked a bit depressed and very tired. Overall, good learning opportunity. Though, frankly feel I should have had the opportunity to do the case in English (which is my strength)

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Boston Consulting Group (Lisbon, Lisbon District)

      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.
