Questions to Ask

1. In my first year with the firm, how much responsibility should I expect? To whom will I be reporting, and who will evaluate me?
The firm has a reputation for giving newbies a good deal of responsibility, but this varies according to office, supervisor, and client situations.

2. BCG has a reputation for providing a good quality-of-life to employees. What are some of the ways you help to ensure this?
This question shows you’re familiar with the firm and gives interviewers the chance to chat up BCG a bit, which they usually enjoy.

3. What are my chances of working for one of the international offices early in my career at BCG?
According to insiders, all you need do is ask.

4. Can you tell me about a recent engagement you worked on? How do
you feel you helped the client?

5. What kind of professional development does BCG provide?
BCG prides itself on offering frequent classroom training sessions on diverse business topics – from presentation delivery to net present value analysis using Excel. It’s good to try to find out what the interviewer considers to be top training opportunities.

6. How does BCG plan to expand its business in coming years?

7. How is your firm different from Bain?
BCG expects that you are good enough to have received offers from many of their competitors. By discussing the competition, you’re subtly reinforcing the notion that you’re good enough to be in hot demand.

8. How much of my work will be in strategy, and how much in
reengineering and IT work?
Increasingly, BCG is widening the services it offers. Consultants at the firm may not spend all their time on classic hard strategy; find out where BCG is going.

我听说管理咨询工作压力很大。 缺点是什么？
咨询业往往以客户为先。因此我们常常得面对长时间工作和苛刻的出差安排以便满足客户要求（管理咨询绝非朝九晚五的工作！）。我们要解决的问题有很强的不确定性，许多时候面对极大的挑战。 然而，公司认识到顾问对工作的付出，也因此给予相对应的报酬。
