I've heard mixed reviews.

The McKinsey office I had a final round with is not taking anymore generalists, so if you have a contact that you are close with, I'd reccommend asking them straight up.

For BCG, they are on campus at my school, so can always bid on it if necessary. Talking to someone at the office I am trying to get into, he said that there is sort of a "do not interview again" list, so hopefully you're not on that, which would be doubtful if you got to a final round.

Bain, I'm not sure about. I suspect they are simliar to the BCG point of view.
