Crowdsourced list of consultancies which stopped interviews/hiring due to Corona

It seems to be on everyone's mind these days, so we made a crowdsourced list (at CVandMe) on which consultancies in Europe stopped hiring. Currently 136 students shared their Corona experiences from 30 consultancies, eg:

McKinsey: try to push interviews and start dates towards Q3/Q4, but are honouring all their comittments BCG: postponing scheduled start dates from June to Sep 2020 Bain: similar to BCG Accenture: canceled final round interview Simon-Kucher: Move all summer internships to Q4 Commerz Business Consulting: startdate for internship postponed from Mar to Jun 2020 Big4: A lot of postponing going on, both of interviews and offers. Interviews moving online.

Happy to answer anything you might want to know? We have a bit of insider information as we are working with consulting applicants.

Stay healthy!
