The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Boston Consulting Group in Jan 2010
Interview
I had 2 interviews for the first round - 2 basic cases. One was an entry in a new market and the other was an evaluation of what portfolio the company should have. Also had basic behavioral questions like what are your most significant achievements. The behavioral went pretty deep and I wasn't super confident about it. It was really my first interview since college.. I needed more practice there. The case wasn't completely trivial and there was a good discussion and interaction with the interviewers which were friendly in a fake kind of way.
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.
Interview questions [1]

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 (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.
