Joining into BCG

BCG’s continued growth demands that BCG attracts exceptional people. Applicants from different backgrounds are appreciated.

Recruiting Process

The recruiting process is a two-way dialogue designed so that BCG can get to know you and you can get to know BCG. There are two rounds of case interviews, with three separate interviews in the first round and two additional ones in the second.

Interview Process

BCG interviews are based on real projects that your interviewer has worked on. Those examples will give you an insight into what it is like to work at BCG, and they will allow BCG to focus on how you would approach solving practical business problems.

The interview also gives BCG the opportunity to learn about your personal drive and motivation, while giving you a chance to get to know BCG people and BCG culture. The best way to prepare is to practice using BCG's interactive online cases. On the day of the interview, relax and be yourself.

BCG interview process is a dialog aimed at getting to know you personally, learning more about your analytic capabilities, and also introducing you to BCG people and BCG work. BCG assesses your ability to listen, communicate effectively, and present yourself with tact, energy, and persuasiveness. BCG looks for intellectual curiosity and creative thinking. And sometimes, BCG just wants to find out what it would be like to spend a week on the road with you, working together on a client project. Interviewers value a sense of humor and a bit of “sparkle” in your personality. 

There are two rounds of case interviews, with three separate interviews in the first round and two additional ones in the second. Typically, BCG divides interviews into three parts: personal background, consideration of a case study, and an opportunity for the applicant to ask questions about BCG. 

1)Your Personal Background

2)Case Study

3)Questions and Answers

The interview is your chance to ask questions about working at BCG or your interviewer’s personal experience. It is an opportunity for you to get to know BCG people and BCG culture. Come prepared with the questions that matter to you, and BCG will make every effort to answer them.
