Hey everyone,

I’m currently applying for a Data Science internship at BCG X (Visiting Data Scientist role) and wanted to get a better sense of the interview process.

I’d really appreciate insights from anyone who has gone through it recently (especially in Paris, but all experiences are helpful):

• What are the main stages? (OA, technical interviews, case study, fit, etc.)
• How technical does it get? (ML theory vs coding vs business cases)
• Are there case interviews like in classic BCG consulting roles?
• What kind of problems should I expect (ML modeling, product sense, analytics cases…)?
• Any tips on how to best prepare?

Also, how much emphasis is placed on business understanding vs pure data science skills?

Thanks a lot in advance — any advice or experience would really help 🙏
