Hi PrepLoungers,
Can anyone shed some light on the BCG interview process for an experienced hire?
My (limited) understanding is that there are 2 rounds, a total of 5 interviews, and potentially a math test similar to the PST. But I have also read about some people asked to take a written test.
Thanks for the help all!
Hi Anonymous,
the usual process is:
As mentioned in the previous answers, the process may vary according to the office and your seniority:
From my experience, the average number of interviews for a full-time position is 5 and the minimum number based on the previous elements is 3.
Hope this helps,
Francesco
Hi,
The basic BCG process is the following:
Depending on the office you may not have to write a test / case. The number of interviews/interviews per day may vary as well.
So the best way to learn is to contact the HR person. Also, MBB companies have dedicated partners responsible for recruiting experienced hires. HR may connect you with that partner to discuss your particular case.
Best,
Hi,
The process that you mentioned is correct, however, it varies from office to office. Some will not make you do any test and in some there will be only two rounds with a total of 4 interviews. The best way to figure that out would be to get in contact with HR of that office and clairify.
Cheers!
Hi A,
The process itself will be similar to the one for not experienced hires.
To learn more about the details, feel free to contact HR.
Best,
André
Same as traditional hires
