What we look for - Associate




Graduates with an outstanding undergraduate or master record but limited business experience join as Associates. Our Associates have backgrounds in a wide variety of disciplines, including arts, commerce, engineering, law, medicine, science, architecture, geography, genetics, politics and history. What they have in common are academic results in the top 5-10% of their year, work experience and extra-curricular activities that indicate drive and motivation, superior communication and analytical skills, and the will to succeed.

Associates learn very quickly in the BCG environment. We provide intensive training in the application of key business concepts and also help to develop communication and presentation skills. It is not always easy, but it is extremely rewarding. Typical Associate responsibilities include:

  • Analyzing data
  • Preparing materials to communicate the results of this analysis
  • Working with clients to develop and test hypotheses
  • Researching industry or company trends
  • Designing and executing innovative market research
  • Discussing ideas, logical arguments and creative solutions with a dynamic BCG and client team
  • Driving business impact and making a difference

Individuals with outstanding postgraduate qualifications but without as much direct business experience as Consultant candidates may be recruited into the Senior Associate program. Each Senior Associate undertakes a training and development program that is tailored to his or her individual needs.
