I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Bain & Company (London, England) in Oct 2018
Interview
I applied online and got sent an online test to complete.
After that, the first round was a set of 3 1-hour interviews, 2 of them being case interviews (one business analysis and one market sizing style case interview) alongside a behavioural and fit interview.
Got called up for the final round in the London offices which consisted of three partner interviews, one of which was a written case.
All of the people there were very interesting and pleasant to talk to, they all had a great insight into their respective industries.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Standard case interview questions (market sizing, business cases, etc)
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.
