I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Boston Consulting Group (Calgary, AB) in May 2018
Interview
The format is two interviews of 45 min each. 15min is associated to Fitt portion where the interviewer will ask you behavioral/resume based questions. The balance of the interview is on the case which is fairly analytical. Time permitting you are allowed 5 min to ask questions to the interviewer.
I interviewed at Boston Consulting Group (Bogotá, Bogota)
Interview
The first interview was with HR, then I got a knowledge test from an MD. Asked about architecture, DevOps, Agile Planning, Cyber, etc. If you're not a well rounded systems engineer it will be challenging to answer all the questions.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What are architectural frameworks? What's the difference between data lake and data lakehouse
Multiple rounds of case studies conducted by different people, would have 20-30 mins to solve. They switch it up so no person has the same cases but then idea is to test your thinking aloud with the interviewer and work with them to ask the right questions and solve the problem at hand
