I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Boston Consulting Group (Paris) in Dec 2016
Interview
1ère étape: étude de cas informatique. Très calculatoire et rapide.
2è étape: 2 entretiens de 45min avec des consultants (fit et étude de cas)
3è étape: idem (refusé à la 2è étape)
Les questions d'entretien sont des questions assez classiques.
Les cas proposés étaient des cas où les frameworks habituels ne s'appliquaient pas, assez originaux. Issus des expériences personnelles des consultants.
