I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Boston Consulting Group in Sep 2021
Interview
The application was fairly straight forward. I got a call back for an interview very shortly after submitting my application. The first interview had two parts: a virtual case interview with a robot and a regular behavioral interview. The behavioral interview went great and was easy to prepare for; just look at the company values and have STAR experiences that relate to a few of those that you can relate to whatever question they ask you. The online case interview was awful. I applied for a data science position and the interview was focused solely on business consulting and nothing related to my field, so it was very difficult. I did not move on to the second round of interviews.
