Interview Details

What did the interview consist of?
1 on 1 Interview
Please describe the interview / hiring process.
Basically applied through on campus recruiting and got a 1st round interview (2 45 minute interviews). The style of interviewing really threw me off. I'm very talkative, and had worked to cut that down for cases, but BCG seemed to want me to talk more, and that just confused.

But my experience got even more negative by interview #2, when the guy brought out his iPhone and started texting, and then had me repeat my question because he was "distracted" when I asked.

It was very frustrating and disillusioning because I tried to like BCG but it just never clicked. They have a nice office though...
