For those of you who have recently gone through it, how was the BCG R1 behavioral/fit interview?

Mine was with a Consultant and it was very brief around 20 minutes total. They didn’t spend any time with small talk at the beginning. They asked questions like biggest risk you’ve taken, most challenging issue you’ve faced, a time when you were wrong and had to admit defeat, etc. Then they left it open for questions at the end

I thought the chatbot I got was quite straightforward but I definitely heard others saying the cases they got were very complex. You can pretty much tell how you are doing during the chatbot case. for example, if you get question 3 right, the next question # will be 4; if your answer is not what they are looking for, the next question will typically be 3a, 3b, etc. to get you back on the right track. So if you find yourself moving quickly on the question number, you are probably doing well

And can you share any watch-outs?

I recently did first rounds at all 3 MBB. I did not like the interactive case personally. I felt the questions were worded strangely and it felt like in some portions in guided you down a certain path and then had a question slightly different than the natural next step, so you had be extremely aware and conscientious of that. Also my recommendation was supposed to have 1 minute to prep and it started my countdown at 30 seconds which threw me off.

Fit interview very standard and easy. Just be structured in your responses

I did personally. But I'm also more of a people person. In final rounds at Bain this next week.
