I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Bain & Company (Los Angeles, CA) in Sep 2015
Interview
The interview process consists of 2 case interviews, each 30 minutes. At first there are some straightforward behavioral questions then proceeds to the case. It involves market sizing so you should be able to quantify everything and calculate everything on top of your head. Also, it includes profitability problem and market entry.
Three rounds of interviews, generally 2 rounds in person or remote with live consultants. Each round involves a 2-3 case interviews each, which generally also include a set of behavioural questions.
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.
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.
