Does BCG require experienced hires to go through a case interview and a test? How did you all prep for the test?

Just got the offer. Had case Interviews and online case with chat bot

Sure but tbh there’s nothing more you can do than normal case prep and do the sample bot case

That’s in R1 yes. For prep just do the 2 cases they have on their website. And then they’ll provide you with a link to a mock test in one of the emails they’ll send before R1.

Any tips on how to best prepare for the BCG cases? Even in completing the 10-15 cases want to make sure that I’m practicing cases of the right level of difficulty. Any input would be appreciated!

The contact I spoke with said that experienced hires will still need to do case interviews.

In terms of preparation I’m working through IGotAnOffer, but I just started so I can’t really speak to the quality.

I don’t think we do a test but depends on the office (Bain made me take a math test). Case interview is a must

That’s interesting. My spelling mistakes my screw me there lol

I did full set of case interviews for lateral principal hiring

Hi BCG2. (1) Where did you lateral from if you came in as Principal level? (2) Did you apply through referral or online? (3) How was the process for you? (4) Can you please clarify 'full set of case interviews'? Thank you.
