I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Bain & Company
Interview
Pretty standard - apply online with CV, Cover Letter and Transcript. Heard back one week later with first round interview offer. I had one week before the interview to prepare. Very important to do a lot of case prep - the standards to get through are very high.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Two interviewee led case studies. One about costs, one a PE case.
Interviewers were really nice, but the process was difficult. Standard level cases and they expected you to take them through multiple business problems. If you practice casing frequently with multiple partners, you should be fine.

Question 1
Please walk me through how you would approach this case.
2 cases for R1. Pretty straightforward cases about revenue optimization opportunities. There was a little bit of market sizing but all data needed was given. No behaviorals asked in round 1 for me.
