Got rejected by BCG in first round. Reached out for feedback a week ago and haven’t heard anything back yet. My interviewer was very expressive about how good my stories were and the chatbot part felt straightforward. Wondering if my interviewer was just being overly nice to make me feel comfortable? Is it worth following up for feedback? Would love to learn from any takeaways they have for me to use in future interviews, but don’t want to be overly aggressive about it either. Thoughts??

BCG interviewers are not allowed to give feedback because it creates legal risk. Reach out to the Recruiting team who have access to interview notes and can give feedback.

Was the interviewer doing fit only? Also just because your story was exceptionally good night not imply it answers the question appropriately

On the case bot, are you sure you answered correctly? Some times I find candidates who feel the most confident about their cases are the worse performers when giving practice case. Not saying it’s you, but just a thought

I don’t blame you. Perhaps it’s better to do self reflection on fit first. If that seems to pass the smell test, then I would suggest reviewing the case if you’re still interviewing. My guess is they might give a good weight on the case bot, it’s been a while and I also left BCG recently so unsure
