Boston Consulting Group Senior Knowledge Analyst interview questions

1) online test on Excel, VBA and SQL. 30 questions each test for 30 mins. 2) face to face interview with Project Lead (same position you are interviewing for) It was a waste of time coming here for the interview as they got the JD wrong. They wanted IT managers who could lead a team of developers to create tools/ db for analytics and not people with analytical background. They call it analytics but the people here don't know the concepts. There was a HR coordinator who was moving things along. When I was called for the face to face interview, he got me and another fellow in the same room. The interviewer was inexperienced and it seemed he was practicing how to take interviews. After the interview, the HR coordinator asked us to have lunch in the cafeteria and wait for the next round. In the middle of having my lunch, I got a call from the guard in reception that to come there. I passed the HR coordinator on my way there and asked him what happened and he said nothing that he didn't call me. When I reached the reception the guard told me the HR coordinator had asked us to leave for the day. It seems the HR coordinator was too cowardly to face candidates himself. It was quite a rude experience. I would discourage people to come here for interview without any reference.

BCG is hiring for different data analytics role in their Gurgaon office. First they send me a general analytics JD which is common now a days. The consultant scheduled my interview 3 times(on different dates) but nobody called me from BCG. At-least BCG should have some professional etiquette that if they scheduled someone interview and if somehow they were not able to take that interview, Please inform to the candidate. A candidate is still have a job and he/she somehow find time for your interview. Please at-least respect for his/her time. Second, After few days another consultant approach me with the Insurance analytics JD, but they mentioned so many things in that JD (From Pricing, reserving, Litigation Management, Consumer behavior till Market and regulatory risk) In my current organization, there are 5 different teams for all these work and everyone have around 5-6 years of experience. If a person really worked on the predictive modeling for an P&C Insurance he/she can easily understand that they are going to do for the first time. Anyhow, Consultant convinced me to gave the interview and I finally agreed for the same. When the interviewer(from BCG) called me she herself don't have any idea what she was asking from me. I had done projects related to pricing of different P&C Insurance products, but she was asking questions on reserving of life Insurance companies. I don't think they don't go through my resume in detail. Later, she was asking again same old questions on general predictive modeling interview. a) How to remove multi-collinearity, auto-correlation, CLS assumptions b) interpretation of odds ratio, logistics regression results c) Different SAS procedure and functions Which I gave correctly, but I was expecting to discuss or questions related to P&C Insurance analytics and how they are going to do in the coming time, which she was not to give the explanation
