I applied online. I interviewed at Bain & Company (Copenhague, Hovedstaden)
Interview
First round 2 x case interviews and 1 x behavioural interview, second round 2 x partner interviews (mix of behavioural and case). Case interviews test commercial acumen, ability to structure the problem, overall attitude towards the case, and ability to draw insights from data (including maths) - focus on practicing %s and typical business calculations (e.g. profit margin)

Question 1
If cost base is x what does revenue need to be for an x% profit margin?
3 rounds of interviews - 2 each. Pretty straightforward if you come prepared. Interview style has changed over the last years to be more interviewer led. Need to be comfortable with Bain published reports to show high motivation
