Tips from the inside
No right or wrong answer
The main objectives of interviews at BCG are to see how well candidates might fit into the culture of the company and how successfully they will handle the complex questions consultants are confronted with in their everyday work. We're told that a key question that crops up time and time again focuses on the candidate’s motivation for wanting to come to work for the firm. Case studies are the main source of insight into applicants’ ability to do the job, which are always “based on real client projects”.
