Hi,
I am wondering whether MBB firms use a polygraph to check the candidate's background info (at the application stage or even later) or not.

A polygraph is most often used by the police as a tool to check the truth behind what a suspected criminal is saying. It is never used in any professional setting. If you have lied about something on your resume, I suggest you alter it because if it does come to light at a later stage it can have a strong negative impact on your whole career.

One of the Bs actually do! I got an offer and eventually I couldnt get away with financing my undergrad studies on meth cooking.
What a strange world we live in.
You can be certain that if they would, you'd know about it ;)
LOL! I wish they did, 95% wont get in :).
On a serious note, they dont.
Ha! I've been on here a while and still love that I can see original questions arise. Don't worry, your secrets are safe ;)
Hi, I confirm it is never used during consulting interview

Ha I have never heard of this before so I think the answer is a solid no
Hello!
This made me smile.
Not at all! The background check is actually done before and by other companies, that basically check that you didn´t lie in the big aspects (education, job, dates)
Nothing to worry about.
Hope it helps!
Cheers,
