I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Boston Consulting Group
Interview
I submitted my resume, cover letter and transcript online (but through my university). I was initially really excited when I went to their info session because the employees seemed very interesting and engaging and laid back. However, the first round of interviews was the complete opposite. I had two separate interviews which were about 45 minutes each: 15 minutes behavioral and a 30 minute case. My first interviewer was extremely rude and condescending. The second was very kind and really seemed interested in my answers and the different way I solved the case. Overall, I could tell I wasn't a good fit.
I applied online. I interviewed at Boston Consulting Group (Lisbon, Lisbon District) in May 2026
Interview
One virtual assessment followed by four in person case study interviews.
Two fourty five minute case study interviews and if the candidate passes another two fourty five minute case study interviews.

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.
