Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Resume Shortlist
Experience: Typical consult resume shortlist, depended on how many peaks a person had and what not.

Round: HR Interview
Experience: The interview was conducted well, personal interaction was quite friendly and at no point did the interviewer try to put any stress.

Typical HR round trying to gauge what your skills and motives are.
A standard market entry case.

However they arrived with just half as many panellists (as needed) and couldn't interview many people as such and very few were given second rounds. (Mostly whoever was eliminated from BCG final rounds, internal hot list was also present)

Tips: Having a BCG or another consult shortlist is very necessary. There would usually be communication between them, and they always take the ones rejected in final rounds of BCG.

Apart from that, they have the usual consult interviews, and the other write ups on the portal have well explained the process.
