I applied online. I interviewed at Bain & Company (Austin, TX) in Aug 2023
Interview
Final round: 2 interviews back to back with EM level. Standard casing. Heavy on market sizing, so definitely study that. One interviewer did not follow a structured format; the other interviewed straight out of a case you would find from Management Consulted
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Case interview consisting of market sizing, profitability, revenue growth, mergers/acquisitions etc
2 rounds, 1st round 2 small cases, not very difficult , market entry cases.
2nd long case with a deck to read and prepare answers..45 mins to read, 15 mins to answer
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.
