I received a referral and was invited to apply to BCG Italy through a direct referral link on the careers portal (Intern/Visiting Associate track). It has been one week since I submitted my application, and so far I have only received the automated confirmation email. Is this still within the normal timeline, or would a polite follow-up be appropriate? Also, what is a typical end-to-end timeline for this recruiting process in Italy?
Also, are there any current recruiting/staffing dynamics in BCG Italy (e.g., batching, slower scheduling, seasonality) that candidates should be aware of?
