I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Boston Consulting Group (London, England) in Dec 2017
Interview
I was contacted by an internal recruiter for the role, was asked for a CV and then promptly had a screening call. Basic competency questions and HR/current employment questions were asked (15 mins). I then had a video call with the same recruiter (45 mins). Next round was a phone call with a member of the Knowledge Team in the States (1 hour). Interviewer covered competency based questions and asked why I wanted to work for BCG. I also had to analyse a report and explain how I would approach it. Next round was an in-person interview in the London Canary Wharf office. More competency based questions and some probing questions such as my opinion on what the priorities for leaders and organisations are. Next round was a video call with the head of the team (States based) asking more questions on my opinions and many in depth questions on why I wanted the role (1 hour).
Very professional throughout although had a bit of a wait to hear back after the final round. Questions were more thought-provoking with each round and it was clear they wanted to see how you approach bigger questions. Friendly and stimulating conversations.

Got a call for cancelling interview since they found the right candidates. Didn't have the chance to fail the interview even, would love to try again this year. How is BCG culture?
