I applied online. I interviewed at Boston Consulting Group in Sep 2020
Interview
Standard case interview. These were held over zoom. You'll find that McKinsey, BCG, and Bain all have slightly different interview styles. BCG definitely focuses on a candidate-led/driven case style (unlike McKinsey and to some extent Bain). These means that you really need to ask specific, probing questions. At the same time, be sure to balance trying to feel out the direction your interviewer is going in with your own intuition about the case.

Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Case interview standards, sometimes a bit abstract especially on partner level
3x case interviews, interviewee led, questions about experience and relevant background, always dig deeper to understand details eg on leadership experience. Cases vary all the time, need to ne ready for anything. Thinking js rewarded
Case interview about merger and acquisition
Was medium difficulty has a lot of brainstorming and analytical elements
Required quick thinking structuring and deep analysis to really ace it easily
Practice is def mandatory and failure to do so will lead to failure
