When I joined BAH back in 2015 the in person hiring event I went to was pretty similar to what D1 said, but I never got to rank the groups as an interviewee. There were 15-20 of us who were being interviewed.

If memory serves, there were 4 rounds of ~30 minute interviews. One round was with a single SA, one was with a single P, and the other two rounds were with two SAs apiece.

Most of the questions were softballs that focused on cultural fit and behavioral stuff, though one interview did go fairly in depth into my resume.

No ranking on my part. I think I got the verbal offer the next day or maybe a couple of days later.

Which group in Booz?

So here is the inside baseball. Not sure how it will be adopted as a virtual event, but here is how it will run if it was in person. You will meet with 2-3 groups of people. Each group will have 2 people. They will be ranking you on general fit to the firm, your skillset proficiency and if it is in demand in the firm, and if the group has a specific project in mind then they will do project fit. Each group will be from different accounts. You will he asked to rank which group you liked the best (essentially which account) and then all the interviewers will meet and rank the candidates. If one group likes you - you go there. If two groups like you then you will go to wherever you ranked higher. We joke that it is like a speed dating event.

I have attended an interview last week which had both Technical and Manager Round.

Even after 4 days the status in iBegin portal still says as "Candidate registered against job". I am not getting any response from the HR about the current status.

Does this mean that I am rejected? I am confident that I have performed well in the interview.
