The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Bain & Company in Feb 2010
Interview
On campus interview - first round. Consisted of 2 back-to-back case interviews that were 30 minutes each
Office interview - final round. Consisted of 3 back-to-back case + behavioral interviews that were 45 minutes or so each. These were with more senior people in the company
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Asked various situational case interviews - had to ask for the appropriate data and ask the right questions to continue along in the interview.
Drei Interviewrunden, je ein Interviewer: zwei englischsprachige Case Studies (Interviewer-geführt, strukturiert) sowie Personal Fit mit situativen Fragen ohne CV-Bezug - keine Angaben zu Praktika oder Uni gefragt. Stattdessen Reaktionsfragen à la „Wie würdest du in Situation XYZ reagieren?". Mit solider Vorbereitung nichts Unerwartetes. Alle Interviewer sehr freundlich und aufgeschlossen — angenehme, entspannte Atmosphäre throughout.
There is a test after which you have to go through several rounds of market sizing and business case interviews, hr interview is separate and asking for general personal experience things
Average interview
Application
I interviewed at Bain & Company (Bruselas)
Interview
2 rounds of 3 interviews.
The first round includes a fit interview.
All interviews feel very relaxed, but they still expect you to move through the case fast and in a structured way.
