Case Interview Preparation

If the idea of tackling complex problems excites you, there’s a good chance
​​​​​​​you belong at BCG—and the case study interview is your chance to shine!​​​​​​​

Perform at your best during your case interview.


An important step in the interview process for client-facing roles, case interviews are designed to simulate real-world problems faced by client teams, so you’ll be able to experience the type of work we do, show off your ability to problem-solve, and demonstrate any technical or specialized skills related to the role for which you’re applying.

While this may be a new experience for you, embracing the challenge of case prep with enthusiasm and an open mind will help to make it as informative and rewarding as possible. Rest assured you’ll have all the support you need to succeed, giving you a true taste of what it’s really like to be a consultant at BCG.

If applying for a senior role within the organization, you may not be required to complete a case study interview in the traditional sense outlined below. However, you should come prepared to discuss your approach to team building, and your frameworks and strategies for solving complex business problems.
