Bain & Company interview questions

There were 2 back to back case interviews, both are 30mins long. The first was regarding starting a milking operation in a small city and the second was a private equity acquisition evaluation. The interviewers were very nice but because of limited time, there were no personal questions. They give you lots of hints on how to progress and often remind you when you make a mistake (but its best that you don't make any)

Bain usually has case interviews typical of Consulting firms. This winter they implemented a new technique of giving applicants 1 hour to look at a stack of slides and then make some recommendations during a presentation. This stack of slides varies for each interviewer in only the way it is printed. For some it is printed on both sides of the paper, for some it's stapled together, for some it's only paper clipped. I was put in a room with 30 other interviewees to go through the slides, so there was very little room to spread out. The advice I've heard is that on the "recommendations" slide you have to fill out, keep it simple. One or two is all they are looking for.
