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 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.
