I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Bain & Company in Oct 2015
Interview
Bain assesses candidates with case, written case and experience interviews which may be conducted separately or in combination, depending on the office and role applied to. Remember that the firm is looking for a mix of practicality and creativity. Your solutions need to be workable, but you're not looking for the one correct answer (there could be several).

Question 1
How many miles are run in Nike Tennis shoes each year
2 rounds, 1st round 2 small cases, not very difficult , market entry cases.

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.
