I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Boston Consulting Group (Munich, Bavaria)
Interview
Very pleasant recruitment day with an on-site case on the computer followed by two interviews with consultants. Really felt like they want to see your best version and want you to succeed. However you need to prepare well for the format of case interviews. But they send helpful material beforehand and recommend books etc.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
One market sizing question and one classical case interview + personal questions of why BCG, why consulting, remember a time you failed / took leadership etc.
I interviewed at Boston Consulting Group (Amsterdam)

Kind people, asked to describe situations in a lot of details. Even how the room was when a situation occurred.
Questions:
Tell me a time you failed?
Biggest challenge so far?
Why this subject?
Why BCG?
How would people describe you?
The online test needs preparation, simple mathematics but simple mistakes can be made, doing many samples is recommended and necessary. Did not make it to the next phase but i heard its just basic casing.
