I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Boston Consulting Group (Dubai) in Aug 2012
Interview
Very rigorous and well structured. 8 interviews in total (5 in first round, 3 in final round). Interviews vary between 'got what it takes' (case studies, analytics etc.) to 'want to work with' (e.g. had someone who studied philosophy interview me about everything and nothing).
First round is usually done by junior employees (project leaders/ principals) and the final round is usually done by partners of the firm.
Very professional, clear guidance as to what to expect (read their website www.bcg.com) during the interview process and it even includes examples of case studies you can practice before the interviews to get familiar with the concept.
3x case interviews, interviewee led, questions about experience and relevant background, always dig deeper to understand details eg on leadership experience. Cases vary all the time, need to ne ready for anything. Thinking js rewarded
Case interview about merger and acquisition
Was medium difficulty has a lot of brainstorming and analytical elements
Required quick thinking structuring and deep analysis to really ace it easily
Practice is def mandatory and failure to do so will lead to failure
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Boston Consulting Group (São Paulo, São Paulo)
Interview
Prova GMAT+ Case + inglês seguida de duas rodadas de duas case interview. Entrevistas bem desafiadoras e exigentes já que o entrevistador somente responde suas perguntas e não dá muitas informações sobre o case.
