Boston Consulting Group Data Scientist interview experience

Neutral

Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

My timeline was fast: I completed an online assessment on a Sunday, and I got an onsite interview invitation the very next Monday.

The OA covered a mix of things that weren’t all in the same lane—there was an algorithm question that pushed me toward a greedy approach, a straightforward SQL question, and even a simple Docker question. I also had more than ten detailed multiple-choice questions.

At the onsite, the hour had a clear flow. The first half was mostly a conversation about my background—why I chose different majors, favorite courses, and whether I’d taken anything security-related. Then we moved into my resume projects, with questions about what I did, how I broke the work down, and what the toughest part was.
