I applied through university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Bain & Company in Oct 2016
Interview
On-campus interview after applying through my university's career center and networking with alumni. Had 2 business cases but didn't go through to the next round. The cases weren't too difficulty but based on my experience, a lot was placed on fit. Good process overall - the team was welcoming and seemed interested in your background. The process is competitive but it's definitely worth trying.
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.
