I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Bain & Company (Munich, Bavaria) in Mar 2019
Interview
Professionell organisierter Bewerbertag, freundliche Mitbewerber, drei sehr interessante Gespräche. Das erste Gespräch hatte einen stärkeren Fokus auf die Persönlichkeit und die Motivation und nur einen kleinen Brainteaser, die anderen Gespräche hatten stärkere Gewichtungen auf die Lösung von Fallstudien. Thematisch waren die Fallstudien sehr weit entfernt von meinen Expertisen/Studienhintergrund und daher auch nicht so gut greifbar. Lösbar waren sie trotzdem. Am Ende hat es wohl knapp nicht gereicht, mit der Begründung, die Motivation für Bain & Company sei nicht ganz so rüber gekommen.

Question 1
Warum wollen Sie genau für uns arbeiten, und nicht für McKinsey oder BCG?
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.
