Hi Fishes
I would like to know about the client interviews (especially in data science or machine learning roles).
Are these interviews tough?
Are these interviews meant to assess technical knowledge? For example, what is binomial distribution, what are different data structures in python, ml algorithms etc.
I would request each of the nagarrians to share their thoughts irrespective of the technologies you are working.
I am thankful to you for taking time and helping me out.

When wasn't it a norm
Yeah BCG made a mistake recently and I doubt I'd ever apply again. They scheduled me for an interview then canceled it a week before via email saying I was no longer under consideration.
Justification was a mess up on their end, I was put into the wrong candidate pool when they scheduled me for an interview (as exp hire they'd interview me but since I was recent grad they reclassed me and that team said no).
omg this is much worse
I thought that we deliver all rejections by phone, for reference, with feedback. Assumed others did too and thought bcg used to at least
I can confirm i was rejected from McK after final round last month and the recruiter called me to discuss (same after every interview i passed)
I mean I get where you’re coming from but they’re not going to give you feedback. Save everyone’s time and heartburn.
Phone call is so much more professional. Shows great care and service.
I think it’s the tradition those MC shops call to give feedback even when rejected
That’s the BCG way.
How long after the final round interview did your friend get the rejection email? Asking because my friend just did a final round on Friday…
Got my phone call offer the following Friday (so a full week after my final round) when I interviewed last year. I've heard they've improved the wait time this year so depends on your office I guess.

I got a phone call from BCG, email from Bain the first time around, the second time they just ghosted me 🫠
Bain ghosted me the second time around too. Thought it was very unprofessional
It’s been the norm for the past few years. If you want a call for feedback, you can ask though.
Were they in on-campus recruiting? If so, that does sound odd.
If they were applying as experienced hires, then that might be different.
