Hi everyone,
I am looking for information regarding Berylls' interview process since it is very hard to find any details on the internet and I personally do not know anyone working there.
Could anyone give me some insights on how the interviews look like, what cases to expect, etc.?
Thanks in advance!

Hi!
I also applied at BSA (Germany) and had collected some information online and from friends and other connections/forums.
Interview:
First, there's a normal phone interview. If you pass that, you will get invited for the case interview at BSA. There will be 2 rounds in the typical case interview format (personal fit, case interview...). This is for the entry level. For the level of senior associate, you will additionally have to do a presentation.
Reputation:
BSA was #1 hidden champion 2015 (http://www.berylls.com/en/hidden-champion/awards.php), they won the Best of Consulting 2016 award in a category (http://award.wiwo.de/boc/rueckblick/). I recommend you to go thru their press releases on their website, it contains loads of information.
Starting salary:
The starting salary is according to industry standard.
Requirements:
You have to be passionate about the automative industry, and preferably you should have internships or other work experience in the automotive industry on your record. From what I have heard, you need at least a 2.0 GPA (in Germany) and a good grade in Maths. Also, some people mentioned that Berylls doesn't prefer candidates with a degree from a university of applied sciences (FH)) and candidates coming from Big4, but I don't know if this is always the case.
If you find any more info, feel free to share it with me, as well ;)
Hi, I hope your interview went well. Can you share some more information on the process for consultant applicants? Are there only two rounds for a total of three hours or can I expect another round? — on Dec 12, 2017
I know that in Germany they have two rounds of interview days. Each day includes three typical interviews (personal fit, case study). If you apply for senior associate or a higher position, you will also have to do a presentation, as well.
Hi, did you get some information regarding the interviews and cases at Berylls?

Hi,
I have the same problem... by any chance have you had your interview, yet, and can give me some info? Would greatly appreciate it.
In order to repeatedly demonstrate prerequisite skills under the pressure of a real case interview, you need to learn the basics and practice cases.
