The five reports behind this guide come from consultant-track candidates at Bip, not from people titled Business Analyst. They cover Consultant, consulting intern and Junior Consulting Manager interviews. Read them as a guide to how Bip assesses analytical consulting candidates, and expect your own process to vary by level.
Three candidates describe an HR screen followed by a conversation with an Engagement Manager, project manager or senior manager, and then a final round with a Partner or HR manager. One Consultant candidate was asked about a difficult client stakeholder and the difference between risk and issue management, then faced Partner-level business case questions. The Junior Consulting Manager candidate also got a difficult-stakeholder question, this time about a workshop.
Case-style work is the clearest theme. An intern candidate was asked to estimate annual ice cream consumption cost in Italy. Another candidate described a market sizing exercise followed by a healthcare business case with a partner, plus questions on cost structures and derivatives. The Junior Consulting Manager candidate received a case about the firm's end client one hour before presenting a five-page deck in fifteen minutes, and received an offer. Practise structuring unfamiliar problems quickly and stating your assumptions out loud.
Not every round was demanding. One Consultant candidate described a lighter conversation of about thirty minutes, with questions on motivation, teamwork and direct versus indirect costs. Prepare a clear answer to why Bip and why this role, plus concrete examples from past work. Four of the five candidates reported no offer, so rehearse the Partner-level case in particular.

Synthesized from candidate reports. Individual experiences may vary.
Candidates report a first call with HR covering their background, why they applied, availability and sometimes a school or group project. One candidate says it focused on cultural fit rather than technical depth. Have a concise motivation story and examples of teamwork ready.
Candidates report a second conversation with an Engagement Manager, project manager or senior manager. Reported topics include a difficult client stakeholder, risk versus issue management, direct versus indirect costs, and an ice cream consumption estimate. Expect experience questions mixed with some structured reasoning.
Some candidates report a market sizing exercise, a logic test, or a group activity on the same day. The Junior Consulting Manager candidate received a case one hour before a fifteen-minute presentation of a five-page deck. Formats likely differ by level, so confirm the structure with your recruiter.
Candidates report a final round with a Partner or HR manager. One described about thirty minutes of Partner-level business case questions. Another described a difficult healthcare case plus questions on travel willingness and career goals. Be ready to discuss trade-offs and your reasoning.
