BAE Systems Summer Internship – Management Consultant

Question

Hi,

I have received the invite to complete a 60m digital interview, powered by HireVue. Does anyone have any insight into what it entails, and how to prepare? Many thanks in advance.

Cheers

Answer 1

Congrats on receiving an invite! This is what I heard about the HireVue digital interview:

What it entails:

Pre-recorded video questions, you'll see a question on screen, have ~30 seconds to prepare, and ~2 minutes to answer
Some interviews include written or multiple-choice questions, depending on the firm
You’ll likely face a mix of:
- Behavioral questions (e.g., “Tell me about a time you handled a challenge”)
- Motivation questions (e.g., “Why this firm/role?”)
- Possibly case-style or logic questions, if it’s a consulting or analytical role

How to prepare:

Practice structuring your answers using STAR or PARADE format
Record yourself answering sample questions, focus on clarity, eye contact, and concise delivery
Prep common behavioral topics: leadership, teamwork, problem-solving, failure, and motivation
Keep your environment quiet, well-lit, and distraction-free
Dress as you would for a live interview, first impressions still matter!

Let me know if you’d like sample questions to practice with, happy to help. Good luck!

Hi there!

Yes - actually this has been asked before.

Check in the history / archive of the chat and you'll find a few granular answers.

I suggest you check on glassdoor for specific interview questions for non-consulting roles in non-consulting companies.

Answer 4

Hey there,

Congrats on getting the invite! For BAE’s Management Consulting internship, the HireVue usually includes motivational and competency-based questions (e.g., teamwork, problem-solving, why consulting, why BAE). Some past candidates also mentioned situational judgment questions.

Prepare a few strong examples using the STAR method (Situation, Task, Action, Result) and keep answers structured but natural. Happy to help with practice if you’d like!

Best regards,
Alessa
