What we look for - Associate




Graduates with an outstanding undergraduate 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:

  • Analysing data
  • Preparing materials to communicate the results of this analysis
  • Researching industry or company trends
  • Discussing ideas, the logic of your arguments, and the progress of your work in internal team meetings or with clients.
Individuals with outstanding postgraduate qualifications but without significant direct business experience 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.
