I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Boston Consulting Group (München, Bayern) in Dec 2015
Interview
Kind people and perfectly organised, interview process hard but not 100% objective and it's a pity there is only one consultant per Interview so there cannot be any peer reviews - in my case there was one guy who kicked me out, but the others could not really argue because they hadn't been in the interview. Although that interview was definitely the one which went best. As you can see there's a huge subjectivity in the process.
I applied online. I interviewed at Boston Consulting Group (Lissabon, Lissabon) 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.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
One case study about an airline and another about the banking industry
2 one-to-one interviews with fit questions and case studies. One is about the mining industry's efficiency increase, and the other is the PE decision in investment in a specific electronic vehicle.
I interviewed at Boston Consulting Group (Lissabon, Lissabon)
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.
