HR interview,followed by team members and hiring manager The solutions architect interview was the silliest interview I have ever attended. It looked like the company is wrongly calling a software programmer position as a solution architect position, because there were simply no design questions asked. there was nothing about architecture, previous projects in which you have applied these concepts etc. The questions were more like what you would ask a fresh graduate from college about basics of programming . As soon as the interviewer started this line of questioning, I realized this was not the position I wanted. After 12 years of progressively higher responsibilities, I can remember answering these kinds of questions only when I first started my career as a software developer. Since I already had an offer from another company for a similar role , I withdrew from the process, but feel compelled to post this review because I am disappointed in the experience, and I had expected a higher standard from BCG. My takeaway is , if you are interviewing for the management consulting roles, which is what BCG is famous for, then you shouldn't have a problem, but if you are interviewing for the technical roles(called knowledge and analytics group), their standard is low, and the line of questioning mirrors what you would expect from outsourcing companies from other countries.

Interviewed for a technical position for which I have vast experience, which included a long stint in a large consulting company. In less than 10 minutes the lady decided my skills weren't aligned and dumped me. I later learned that the same was happening with colleagues regarded as the best in the region.
