It went okay. The behavioral questions were the usual, and the case interview was one you would expect from BCG. I did not do as well on the case interview, so I got rejected.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Boston Consulting Group (Los Angeles, CA) in Aug 2024

Applied online, first round behavioral interview and online case bot (I thought I did particularly bad on the case bot yet still moved on), the final round was two back-to-back cases with senior partners and 5 min of behavioral. The partners were extremely rude and did not seem to want to speak with me.
