Hi all,

Has anyone here heard from BCG London? the deadline to complete the test was this morning. A friend of mine from a target Uni has heard back and been informed about interviews, while others haven't.

I was wondering does BCG reach out to potential candidates in sets of batches?

The email that I received prior to the test stated that a pass/meeting the benchmark does not guarantee an intevriew?

Kind regards,

x

Hello!

Given that the deadline was only hours ago and we are in the weekend, it´s quite pramature to worry :)

Allow them for a week or so, and if you odn´t hear anything, follow up.

At the end, this is a pipeline and not all candidates move through it at the same speed, so it does not have to mean something bad.

Hope it helps!

Cheers,

Clara

I haven't heard anything back at all! I've already taken online tests for McKinsey & Bain, so either BCG are doing batches or I've been rejected.

hope you hear back soon!

Hi A,

I understand your concerns. However, sometimes it really takes them a bit longer to inform all candidates of the results.

Do not worry, while other candidates haven't heard from them as well. If you don't get an update in the next days, call HR.

Do you need any further help?
