BCG Riyadh Internship Decision Message

Hey, I was just wondering how BCG will let me know the decision of my final round? For my first round, I didn't get any feedback, like most of the resources online stated, and I didn't get a call. Could I expect the same thing for the final round? Will it be a call or an email?

Hi,

Usually, in the last round, they will give you a call for both a pass and a rejection.

Regarding specific feedback, if you pass, they usually don't provide detailed feedback. If you are rejected, it depends. Sometimes they share feedback proactively; otherwise, you can ask for it after they communicate the decision.

Hope it helps,
Franco

Hi there,

It depends. Offers are generally communicated by phone, while rejections can be communicated by either phone or email. The fact that you did not receive feedback or a call after the first round does not tell you what will happen after the final round.

Sit tight and wait for the decision. Fingers crossed!

Hey there :) It can vary by office and recruiter, so there is no fixed rule for whether the final decision comes by phone or email. For final rounds, though, a call is quite common, especially if it is a positive decision, while rejections may be communicated by email. I would not read anything into the lack of a call after R1.

At this stage, I would simply wait for the timeline they gave you. Hopefully you get the call soon! If you want, feel free to reach out if you have any questions about the Riyadh process.

Best, Alessa :)

If you get the internship, a partner or recruiter will usually call your phone within one or two days. They love sharing good news directly. If it is a no, you will just get an email.

Round one had too many people for personal calls, but final offers always come by phone.

Feel free to reach out if you want to discuss this further.

Hi,

Congratulations on making it to the final round!

While processes can differ across offices and regions, in most cases you should expect a call if you get an offer. Rejections can be handled either by call or email and is region dependent.

Best,
