How long does it take to hear back on a BCG VA final round interview for Riyadh

Had my final round interview recently, just wanted to know when the Riyadh office get back to candidates on the acceptance/rejection of the internship?

Hi,

I've been working with a couple of candidates for BCG Middle East recently, and all of them but one heard back within a few business days. The other person had to wait two weeks because of an internal alignment delay. 
In any case, if you have no update after a week, it is reasonable to follow up politely with HR.

Best,
Franco

Hey there :)

For BCG Riyadh, timing can vary depending on the recruiting cycle and internal alignment, so there isn’t a fixed number of days. If they gave you a specific timeline, I’d use that as the benchmark. Otherwise, around 1 to 2 weeks is a reasonable expectation before following up politely.

And don’t read too much into a few days of silence after a final round. Decisions can take time even when the interviews went well.

Best, Alessa :)

Hi there,

In general, it should only take 1 to 3 days. However, delays happen and it can sometimes take a couple of weeks.

Sit tight and continue with your other applications. If you have not heard anything after around 2 weeks, feel free to follow up politely with HR.

Good luck!
