I applied through university. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Bain & Company
Interview
Two 30 minute cases that were very challenging, each with a different interviewer. Initial structuring of framework was not as useful as useful in my opinion. Required ability to analyze complex charts quickly and use that to drive insights. There was no behavioral component. Received a call the night of saving that I was not proceeding to the next and final round. The two interviewers made the process less stressful and were pleasant to chat to before and after the interview.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Challenging case that did not proceed in a linear manner and often required atypical thinking to succeed.
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.
