Consulting Roles

At BCG, you’ll start making an impact on day one. Teams are small. The learning curve is steep. The experience is unparalleled. We work both hard and smart as we cocreate with clients. You may find yourself on the road, or immersed in data. But either way, you’ll be welcomed, valued, and appreciated. Your role as a consultant may take you to graduate school. Or you may find your way from graduate school to BCG. No matter the path, your success will be well earned.

What BCG looks for in early career candidates.

​​​​​​​Solving client problems is the hallmark of our work and our hiring process. Once you complete an application, there are several rounds of interviews to get to know you and your approach to problem solving.

Who You Are

Your background and personal experiences define who you are. You’ll share your experience of leading and making an impact in your field. Be clear, be distinctive, and be yourself. We want to understand what makes you unique and how you can add to the diversity of BCG.

How You Think

As part of the interview process, you’ll analyze a case study. The case will typically be based on a real BCG consulting project, and you will be asked to develop solutions to a specific client challenge. We’re not looking for a right or wrong answer. We’re focused on how you think, your strategic skills, and the ability to make a strong case for your recommendations.

What Matters to You

It’s important to understand if BCG is the right place for you. We expect you to come prepared with questions. This is your chance to ask questions about working as a consultant at BCG, your interviewer’s personal experiences, and what’s most important to you.

“The Social Impact Immersion Program (SIIP) has provided me with unparalleled opportunities to make a meaningful impact at an early stage in my career. My first project as part of the program was helping develop a hydrogen hub to increase the supply of clean energy in the United States. I then worked with a non-profit to develop a strategy to expand an early college learning model. ”
