I applied through university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Bain & Company (Dallas, TX) in Sep 2016
Interview
Applied through campus recruiting. First round was two 45 minute cases, no behavioral. Cases were real life applications that each consultant had worked on, so they were very open ended. Heavy focus on making logical assumptions and math skills.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
7/11 is planning on moving the slurpee outside of just 7/11 stores. How would you advise them?
2 rounds, 1st round 2 small cases, not very difficult , market entry cases.
2nd long case with a deck to read and prepare answers..45 mins to read, 15 mins to answer
Three rounds of interviews, generally 2 rounds in person or remote with live consultants. Each round involves a 2-3 case interviews each, which generally also include a set of behavioural questions.
Drei Interviewrunden, je ein Interviewer: zwei englischsprachige Case Studies (Interviewer-geführt, strukturiert) sowie Personal Fit mit situativen Fragen ohne CV-Bezug - keine Angaben zu Praktika oder Uni gefragt. Stattdessen Reaktionsfragen à la „Wie würdest du in Situation XYZ reagieren?". Mit solider Vorbereitung nichts Unerwartetes. Alle Interviewer sehr freundlich und aufgeschlossen — angenehme, entspannte Atmosphäre throughout.
