Hello there,

Yes they do, usually it takes up to a month for them to notify. 
Fingers crossed that the notification is a positive one! ☝️

Hi there,

Q: Does BCG send an email if I didn't pass the first interview? If yes, when do they usually send it?

Normally they notify you of the outcome even if it is negative (either via email or call). They should contact you within a few weeks of the interview.

Good luck!

Yes, BCG typically sends a rejection email if you didn’t pass the first round. Timing can vary slightly by office, but most candidates hear back within a few business days—usually 2 to 5 days after the interview. If it’s been longer, it’s okay to politely follow up with HR or your recruiter for clarity. 

Best, Alessa

Yes, they will send it. As a general rule, it can take between one week and one month to get their response.

Hello,

Usually they do, but the timing varies depending on a few factors (e.g., structured campus recruiting or not) - it could be a matter of a week or sometimes longer than a month.

Good luck!
