I applied in-person. I interviewed at Boston Consulting Group in Mar 2017
Interview
Formal interview process began with 1hr HR phone call. General behavioural/situational questions asked.
1st set of case interviews with two Project Leaders occurred ~4 weeks later. Each interview was 20min situational, 30min case, 10min questions to clarify. After the interviews was the computerised Potential Test; calculator was permitted. Positive feedback and progression provided before end of day.
2nd set of case interviews 3x weeks later. Same interview format as before, with one Project leader and with one Principal. Positive feedback and interview progression provided within 2-3 hours.
Final pair of case interviews with 2x Partners. Same format as before, although cases and questions were much more unstructured requiring deeper thinking compared to earlier.
Feedback and successful recruitment were only provided 3-4 days after the final interview. Formal offer was sent next day.

Interview
The interview requires a lot of case prep and also needs you to be engaging - interviewee led. My personal experience was not as great as the interviewer had not turned her camera on and only realized at the end of the interview.

Interview
Robot based assessment. Very interesting and intriguing - each question builds up and eventually leads up to us having to provide a recommendation based on the case study provided. There were a total of 12 questions, where it required general business concepts which can be learned relatively easily.
