Interview
I applied to BCG in June and completed the Casey online assessment in August. It took about a month to receive the results, and another two months before my 1st round interview was scheduled with the Dubai office team.
The overall timeline was quite lengthy, and my communication with HR was slow, with significant delays in responses at each stage of the process. This lack of prompt communication made the experience less seamless than I expected from a firm like BCG.
During the 1st interview, I found the PEI and Case part with the interviewer to be disengaging. Based on conversations with other candidates, it seems that similar attitudes were experienced, which raised concerns about fairness and interviewer engagement.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What qualities do you believe define a leader? What is your proudest accomplishment? The case involved market sizing and developing hypotheses on strategies to bridge the gap between market supply and demand.
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

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.
