I applied online. I interviewed at Boston Consulting Group (Chicago, IL) in Aug 2023
Interview
I had to do a digital, self-guided case and 2 behavioral interviews in the same day. The case was much easier than many I had done in practice, but there was a focus on AI.

The classics.
"Tell me about yourself. Why consulting? Why BCG? Tell me about a time you led a team. I took a look at your resume, can you tell me more about X project and what tools you used to build it?"

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.
