How much does the case bot case matter for Boston Consulting Group? Heard that people where able to make it to the next round even failing it?

Bombed it, as in, didn’t get the right answer, but, I thoroughly explained my train of thought and why I picked what I picked and how I arrived at the number every step of the way. It certainly matters less than the actual case with people, but don’t blow it off. The feedback I got was that my over explanation was extremely helpful, even if I reached the wrong conclusion.

I’m very pleased with the people development I’ve encountered. Work life balance and stress depend largely on client and team and I’ve lucked out.

Got the right answer and didn’t advance, so doesn’t matter much. Did mediocre on the behavioral which has to be the only reason I was cut

Kind of but then the interviewer kept prying on your answer. It would be like tell me a time you operated under minimal guidance, follow up would be like how did the outcome go, another follow up: what did you learn, another follow up: what could’ve been done better, etc.

Didn't get the right answer, somehow still got an offer

Seconded. I will say that I also over explained my logic in the written portions as well.

Case bot, What is this? I’ve just started the interview process

The case bot has been forced on our recruiting teams globally as part of trying to keep our processes consistent across markets.

Some of our offices including my own completely ignore it when assessing candidates.

I’m sorry we are making people do this

So TLDR, it matters a tiny bit in some offices and other offices don’t care at all
