I applied through university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Bain & Company (Boston, MA) in Sep 2015
Interview
Process involves 15 min overview of personality traits/ capabilities and approximately 30 mins of case interview in which they will test your skills to frame, solve and execute necessary steps to deliver results on a case. Cases can range from any sector, the important part is that you are frame your solution in the correct manner. Slight math mistakes like dropping a zero can be forgiven if the framework is rock solid. They will pressure test some.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
One time you exhibited leadership, one time you faced a conflict etc.
Ghosted by HR for Malaysia office after interviewing 3 rounds. Interviewed by associate, senior associate and partner. Typical consulting case questions. Not too difficult and employees were relatively personable. Would've appreciated better communication from the HR team instead of simple ghosting. do better
I applied online and got a online assessment after ~1 week. I completed the online test but I haven't heard back since then. The timeline is a bit uncertain to me.
First round case interviews. Got standard questions about profitability and market entry. IMO the most difficult part was reading complex charts and distilling the key insights with time pressure. There was little behavioral.
