I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Boston Consulting Group (Rome) in Jan 2011
Interview
Very short and easy online application, did not have to take any numeracy test. Sent in application on line and received and invite to London, for 2 interviews. Much less formal than I had anticipated. "Fit" portion was just a discussion about my work history- cannot remember getting a single question of the classic PEI's usually mentioned (challenge, fail, team, etc) 30 min fit 20 min case (times two)
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Nothing was really unexpected, but I got off on the wrong track on the case.. and swan dove off the cliff from there when I messed up some very simple math, I think I included two more zeros than I should have. We both knew it was over when the guy basically chuckled at me because it was amusing to him how off base the answer could, in fact, be.

Interview
A entrevista revelou algumas fragilidades, sobretudo na componente de FIT, que me pareceu algo desalinhada e com várias perguntas pouco claras e, por vezes, pouco coerentes entre si. Faltou alguma estrutura e intencionalidade nessa fase, o que acabou por tornar a experiência menos consistente. Ainda assim, o case interview decorreu dentro do esperado, alinhado com o padrão habitual das restantes consultoras, sem surpresas relevantes.
