I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Bain & Company (Lagos) in Oct 2017
Interview
The recruiting process was top-notch, the interviewers were really friendly and made me really comfortable during my interviews.
The recruiter was great also, always reachable and quick to respond to emails/messages. She made the process delightful for me.
The interview involved some market sizing questions, why Bain, why Consulting and business cases ranging from market entry to cost optimization
2 rounds of interviews, each round consisting of 3 interviews with cases. In the first round 2 case interviews and 1 with HR. In the 2nd round you have 3 interviews with more senior profiles like managers and partners.
Interviewers were really nice, but the process was difficult. Standard level cases and they expected you to take them through multiple business problems. If you practice casing frequently with multiple partners, you should be fine.

Question 1
Please walk me through how you would approach this case.
2 cases for R1. Pretty straightforward cases about revenue optimization opportunities. There was a little bit of market sizing but all data needed was given. No behaviorals asked in round 1 for me.
