I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Boston Consulting Group (Gurgaon, Haryana) in Jan 2012
Interview
4 rounds, 2 with principals and 2 with partners, roughly an hour each - feedback received after each round and the overall experience was quite pleasant, I was called into the BCG office and had 2 rounds on VC and 2 face to face interviews. Interviewers were quite senior and as such focused more on probing past experience leading teams and scoping projects and not a standard case interview
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Mostly around case scoping and disaggregating into work streams, as well as my point of view on certain industry sectors
I applied through university. I interviewed at Boston Consulting Group (Dubai)
Interview
Intro, fit, case (for consultant level)
Fit question example “tell me about a time you solved a difficult problem” then the case is any regular one you can find in the books
I interviewed at Boston Consulting Group (Nairobi)
Interview
There are 2 stages of interviews, with each stage having 2 back to back interviews. Stage 1 interviews are generic case interview testing general problem-solving skills and ability to work alongside general consulting teams on case work similar to what you would be working on a project. The second stage now goes into the technical parts of the job, testing technical capabilities. They provide a practice tool to use (Case Coach) to assist with Prep work.
