I applied through university. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Bain & Company in Jan 2015
Interview
Applied through campus recruiting portal. After making it through preliminary resume screen, was contacted for on-campus first-round interview. First-round interview consisted of behavioral and case components. The interviewer did not offer much help with the case itself and was not interested in having much of a conversation--rather, I was expected to keep talking through the case problem on my own. Did not receive much feedback at time of interview, either. Was contacted the next day and informed that I did not receive a second-round interview.

Question 1
Tell us about a time that you had to work as a part of a team.
Really smooth and clear. Was supported at every stage and felt like I could clearly demonstrate my skills. Found the casing harder than expected but behaviorals were genuinely interesting to answer.

Interview
Very Professional and Structured. Unique way of process with the behavioural and written case on top of the standard case. 2 round, total 5 interviews.
All the interviewers are really nice, genuinely want you to succeed.
MBA on-campus recruiting cycle. One super day of two cases and one behavioral. All done by partners. Countless coffee chats before actual interview day. Interview was in-person, but not at local office for which we were interviewing.
