I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Boston Consulting Group (London, England) in Apr 2024
Interview
It was the worst recruitment experience I have had let alone worst experience within MBBs. Highly inexperienced, incompetent and racist recruiters at BCG.
The recruiter for Europe got in touch for the role on LinkedIn and askedto submit CV. I had a screening call then a first round interview with another HR. I am certainly qualified for the role, and my interview went well. But the HR only asked one question - why BCG or why this role, to which I obviously answered well having prepared it at length.
The HR was way younger than me, probably a 23 year old, hardly one year of work exp and totally inexperienced. She knew nothing about the domain (telco). Complete racist which is shocking for a firm like BCG and she rekected me eventually despite being a good fit. Didn't even have the audacity to personally reply over email stating reason, simply sent the automated rejection.

Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why BCG? Why Consulting? Tell me about a time you had manage multiple tasks at once. Tell me about a time you faced a challenge.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Boston Consulting Group (Frankfurt am Main) in Feb 2024
Interview
I got called for a first interview with HR. Second interview was with a firm's manager. The interview was extensive, covering my background, even academic, professional skills, and motivation for the role. There was also a case study. I was confident in my answers because I already had held the same job in another consultancy firm at the level of BCG, so I knew already how management consulting works. Anyway got rejected in the first round, I asked for feedback and was not provided.
