Here is the latest news from BCG Germany (see screenshot of the email below):

  • Video interviews were a temporary solution – now they implemented a full stop of recruiting for entry positons
  • Start in 2020 not guaranteed – they are asking candidates whether they would be interested to start in 2021

Interesting! They haven't sent me this yet. Luckily I got an offer from another MBB where I did first round live and second round per video, put the start date was pushed back to Jan 2021.

Anonymous B on Apr 09, 2020

Have you also heard the same from other MBBs?

Hi Kaschayar,

Indeed, I have one mentee who has interview being planned in April for BCG, but it got postponed to the later point of time in summer. Date still need to be specified.

Best!

Unfortunately interviews were being halted until they had a better understanding of the situation.

Hi Antonello, I have questions. Last March I finished my final interview at MBB in Munich and then got a proper invitation email to join the team (including preparing the contract, and it says that I will start June- so I thought I was in). Then the corona situation is getting worse, by the end of April I got an email said that they need a final approval from HR department and haven't heard anything back ever since. I have also followed up but no response. What should I do? does it mean that I got rejected or? Your advice would be really helpful. Thanks in advance
