I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Boston Consulting Group (Beirut)
Interview
2 interviews in the same day. Both involved some personal questions followed by a case to analyze. The personal questions covered the usual spectrum: Why BCG? Why consulting? One good thing about you, one bad, etc. The cases were presented and you had some time to think it through. The interviewers would either stress test you at times, or guide you and support you through the process.

I interviewed at Boston Consulting Group (Lisbon, Lisbon District)
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.
