Boston Consulting Group Associate Consultant interview questions

The process had 4 parts: 1st: CV Selection 2nd: Analytical Test: 20 GMAT style questions in 20 mins. 3rd: First round of interviews with 3 consultants. -->First part was CV and fit questions, they really want to know you know your story. Typical questions at this stage where 'tell me about this on your CV' and 'why consulting and why BCG'. -->The second part of the interview was a 30 to 35 min case. The cases are challenging and you have to be very fast with numbers and very organized with the process! I got 3 cases 1 about reevaluating a distribution channel, a loyalty program strategy for a retailer and finally a case about opening a manufacturing facility for a food producer. --> Last part you get to chat a bit with the consultants and ask them questions. Be prepared they expect smart questions. -->The consultants where very accomplished, smart and friendly people, very open and willing to help you through the cases. Nevertheless you should expect them to be hostile at some point since they also want to test your boiling point. 4th: 2 Interviews with partners. -->For the second round The process follows exactly as with the consultants but partner cases where much more difficult. They are more abstract and open ended. --> For the partner cases I felt that you really need to excel when you organize your thoughts, be very creative for brainstorming and show that you can be left alone with a client. -->The Partners are very smart and have a wide understanding of business (Almost seems like they have seen it all in the business world), they are also very friendly and helpful they wont let you fail in the case, they want you to crack it! i really enjoy their cases. It was clear to me the way they where assessing me.
