I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Boston Consulting Group in Dec 2011
Interview
I applied the position through the company's website. I received a call from the HR on being shorlisted for the interview about 3-4 weeks before my actual interview. The interview involved 2 case interviews each of 45 minutes. The interview was conducted in their office one on one with 2 separate consultants.
The office location, people and work culture seemed good to me. Smart people who were polite.
Preparation - You should focus on practicing cases. Try to practice as many cases as you can. BCG is very selective with their applicant pool so you need to be really well prepared.

I interviewed at Boston Consulting Group (Lissabon, Lissabon)
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.
