BCG SEA (Associate) - I had my 1st interview for first round of interviews last Friday, but I haven't heard back for the 2nd interview schedule.

Hi, 

I applied for BCG SEA and had my 1st interview last Friday with a principal. I was told there'll be 1 - 2 interviews in the first round of interviews. I tried to follow up with them however I haven't heard back. I'm aware that updates from each round might differs but I expect that I will receive a schedule for the 2nd interview (first round of interviews) not long after the 1st one. I also checked my portal status is still "Interviews In Progress". How long does it usually take until we hear back? 

Thank you!

Based on my experience with BCG SEA, they can take between 1-3 weeks

Hi! Is it between rounds or it's in the same round like mine?

I know the wait is frustrating but it can take a while before they get back to you. 

Anything in the 1-2 weeks is absolutely standard.

It gets a way strange when it hits the 3-4 week mark. 

If almost a month has passed and they haven't reached out, follow-up with the recruiter.

What's important to know, and maybe that puts your concerns to rest, is that they don't do 'silent rejections' by default. They will tell you if they decide not to continue with your application. 

Hope you get good news soon!
Best,
Cristian
