I stated the process in July 2021. Unlike other consultancies places in Milan, the process is well organised in terms of timeline, it usually ends within a time lapse of 1-month. However it's a pity that the HR, I guess to level up the firm's brand with respect to MBB, explicitly says "we start and close the recruitment in a month, not like the other MBB that don't really care about candidate and put them on hold for month". I appreciate that this could be the truth, as I personally went through another MBB process and it took very long, but a famous citation says "never discredit others to emerge yourself" so the HR's statement has been really unprofessional. In terms of structure the process has 2 rounds. The first has 3 interviews, 1 of which is purely motivational while the other 2 were case based. The 2 round it has 2 case based interviews with Principals. The cases itself were within average but do not rely your preparation only on cases as you can end up being asked brain teaser were you are required to know some specific formulas. From an environment point of you I personally noticed that consultants working there, especially at senior levels, are very old fashioned in terms of work-style and they seem to know only the Italian regional reality. This is confirmed by the fact that they do not really care about your profile , if you have done experiences abroad etc, but they only care that you know that 2+2=4. However the worst part came with the junior HR feedback who called me saying "You have done a disaster and to us it looked like you hadn't prepared at all". This was really shocking (also because I had done almost 100 cases and I was already holding an offer from BCG Milan and one from McK Amsterdam) and I was really surprised as this is not really the type of feedback (even if you have really performed poorly) you expect from a professional HR. It is really ridiculous to see how senior HR employees this type of people, not humble and not prepared at all. Thankfully, despite this junior HR was behaving as he was the most senior HR, he has left the company after 6-months. Hopefully leaving space to other prepared people who want to be a real professional HR. At the end, I am happy not to have received the offer and have started at BCG.

First, we are given an AI interview with questions to answer on video. They only give 45 s to answer questions. Then there was a face-to-face interview, where it is 2 x 45 mins, where it is the same thing with 2 different people on seperate occasions.
