Does anyone know what the BCG background check process and timeline is like? I was a Big 4 partner before accenture. Is it similar to Big 4 going through everything in my background including stock and financials or is it like accenture, just standard check and references?

Interested as well. I am also interviewing with BCG - 3 rounds in. What group are you joining OP?

Congrats! Cool, I am interviewing for Tech Advantage/ BCG digital!

I think they asked for two references- I don’t remember the independence root canal. It was pretty painless

I am interested in BCG. How will I make recruiters know ?

Standard and quick check. Easy. Peasy.

I don’t even like wine very much, but I miss that low level buzz that makes everything a little less loud.

I am interviewing for a Strategy leadership role at a SaaS company. A bit rusty on interviews so crowdsourcing from senior folks here, what are best practices or good examples of certain behavioral questions.

1. What is your weakness? I can talk at length about strengths but unclear what weakness to state so as to not mess up my chances.

2. Where do you see yourself in 5 years? This question is tough because there aren't very many levels above me so cannot say in an EVP role.
