I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Boston Consulting Group (Düsseldorf) in Sep 2017
Interview
Ein mögliches Angebot erfolgt nach 2 Interview-Tagen. An beiden Tagen absolviert man jeweils 3 ca. einstündige Elemente: Jeweils 2 Mixed Inverviews (Persönlichkeit und Case Study), in der ersten Runde ein Analytiktest am Laptop und in der zweiten Runde 3 kurze BCG Reallife Cases. Die Mixed Interviews sind wie wohl alle anderen der Branche, gehen aber weniger entlang Standardfragen, sondern gerade der Persönlichkeitsteil entwickelt sich dynamisch nach deinen Antworten (sehr viele Follow-Up Fragen, etc.). Der Analytik-Test ist im Prinzip ein langer, sehr rechenlastiger Case und ist so konzipiert, dass man nur sehr schwer alle Fragen in der Zeit beantworten kann. Bei BCG Reallife wird man mit alltäglichen Situationen im Berater-Alltag konfrontiert. BCG Reallife ist praktisch nicht vorzubereiten und am Ende vom Tag auch nicht der Hauptaugenmerk in deren Bewertung.

Interview
Round 0 had an assessment, round 1 had 1 case with a human then 1 case with a chatbot. The cases weren’t too complicated mostly revolving around profitability and break even pricing, but the subject matter was niche.
