I applied online. I interviewed at Bain & Company (Seattle, WA) in Oct 2023
Interview
Two back to back case studies over zoom. Different interviews who were very friendly. Overall the process was actually really fun, which is a word I've never used to describe an interview before.
My favorite part, which made me fall in love with Bain, is that one of the interviewers called me to provide feedback after I got the rejection email. After all the companies that waited for months just to send me a generic rejection email, I thought this was really cool. I may not have gotten the internship, but I'm a huge Bain fan now.

Question 1
If you had a offer from Bain, BCG, and McKinsey tomorrow, which would you pick and why?
two rounds of case interviews, candidate-led, tackling a real client problem through a structured, hypothesis-driven framework. need to balance analytical rigor with a collaborative, team-oriented approach, focusing on delivering clear, actionable, and insightful recommendations
It was a straightforward process with two 30-minute interviews. It started with introductions and then the cases; you can have some time at the end for questions. The interviewers are helpful so you can ask clarifying questions.
