Hi, I just took the chatbot case interview with BCG and was wondering what is their usual turnaround response time? I didn't do amazingly, but didn't totally bomb it either - so the nerves are killing me as you can probably imagine :(

I'm working full-time and applying for multiple places so having a rough idea of the turnaround time would be really helpful!

Thank you so much!

Hi Emily,

I totally understand! It's so hard to wait for these things.

I'm sorry to say that the wait time could be anywhere from a few days to a few weeks.

If they don't get back to within 2 weeks you can reach out and ask if they have any updated.

Fingers crossed for you Emily!

Quick update: was notified 5 days later that I got through to the first round live interview! :)

I applied to a role @ BCG. After three weeks from the second interview, I heard from the HR specialist that they are still waiting for next steps from his/her line manager. Does it automatically imply a negative outcome? Would appreciate your thought, Ian.

Hi, it usually requires up to 2 weeks. However, I would suggest contacting hr without worrying about bothering them: they are there to help

Best,

Hi Emily,

The candidates I helped recently heard back after a couple of days. If you don’t hear from them after 1-2 weeks, you can follow up with HR and ask for an update.

Good luck!

Hey there,

The results usually come within 1 week. Never heard of a case where it took longer for now (out of 25 people).

Cheers,

Florian

You're absolutely right. I got the first round invitation 5 days after completing the chatbot case! Thank you, Florian :)
