Interview
2 interviews. First one on campus consisted of 2 45 minute interviews with a Project Leader and Principal. Second interivew consisted of 3 45 minute interviews in the office I applied to, 2 of which were with Partners and one with a Principal. Each interview consisted of a few minutes of the typical interview (tell me about yourself, why consulting, why BCG, tell me about a time when... etc.) and a case interview (suppose X company is thinking about expanding into Y market - should they do it?) that was very difficult.
I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Boston Consulting Group (Zúrich) in Apr 2015

2 Interviewrunden
Erste Runde:
Drei Gespräche mit Sachbearbeiter, Projektleiter und Partner
Zweite Runde:
Drei Gespräche mit 1 Projektleiter und 2 Partnern
Ca. 20-25 Minuten zur Person und 20-25 Minuten Fallstudien
Atmosphäre durchweg angenehm, jedoch hat jeder Interviewer seinen eigenen Stil. Sehr wichtig ist meiner Meinung nach, dass wirklich rüberkommt, dass man unbedingt zu BCG möchte.

Interview
15 minutes non-case interview. Interview with senior associate and HR. The tempo is very fast, and interviewers don't want you to think too long. Interviewers have poker face, so the pressure is kind of high. The interview start with English and then goes to Chinese. They are keep testing how did you solve problems, after you answer a question.
