Pass rate is 95%. According to their website which has a dynamic state-by-state dashboard of interview results. In line with competitors in NJ.

You’re looking at an outdated website link. It’s 97% now. But drops the farther away from nyc you get.

OP, BCG has high standards regardless of the office. I interviewed in the Hudson Yards office. Did not make it past the final round.

What would I do differently?
1. Practice case interviews with a buddy. Ace them.
2. Built a compelling story on why you and why BCG.

Good luck to you.

At what point do you draw the line on WLB? Working insane hours on a long/term project with what feels like no end in sight. It’s not sustainable but clearly expected. Could you get fired for drawing lines in the sand and saying (example) “come 8:30 every night I’m logging off”. That’s a 65 hour work week as-is but I currently am up until midnight working consistently. For context I’ve been rated as a strong performer consistently and am not new to the job so it’s not a lack of understanding.
