Hi there,

This first call is for HR to understand your motivation and interest in joining BCG. You will probably have to walk him/her through your CV and they can potentially ask you some questions about the practices and types of engagements you already worked on.

The process should be similar as everybody else (5-6 interviews split in 2 rounds).

I hope this helps. Do not hesitate to reach out to me should you have any questions. I personally joined BCG as an experienced professional and I can definitely share with you my experience.

All the best,

Mehdi

Hi,

The HR call would only be to discuss general matters and at high level - e.g. general experience, basic motivation to move to BCG, and if you have any questions related to the process. Usually HR will also explain the process and what to expect. I would not worry too much about this call.

In South East Asia the process for experienced and non experienced is the same, 2 rounds of case interview and each round you will meet with 2 people.

I would really focus all effort to prep for the case interview.

Hope this helps :)

Hi there,

1. As mentioned by Iman you can expect few questions such as “Why BCG”, “Why change now” and some explanation of the next steps. I would prepare the traditional fit questions
2. Given your seniority, usually it is 2 rounds. May differ according to the office
3. 1 or 2 people should be enough for the initial chat to get a solid answer for “Why BCG”

Hope this helps,

Francesco

Hi there,

This is great. Most people spend hours and hours trying to get a conversation with BCG and you have the luxury of getting contacted by them!

1) Yes, this is common. This is essentially the HR screening. Be prepared with a resume walkthrough, why BCG, and why strategy consulting.

2) Same as everyone else. In general, 2 rounds of interviews with 2 interviews per round. All interviews should be fit +case.

3) Perfectly fine for you to just speak to 1 or 2 people if that makes you feel more comfortable

Hi Anonymous,
I would recommend you not to focus on the differences between tests because the format of testing within the company is usually quite similar
It seems like it is going to be a standard call with HR about your motivation, goals, commitment, and some details from your CV. . So, I don't think that you need something particular.
Good luck!
