I applied through university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Bain & Company in Jan 2010
Interview
Two interviewers, back to back. Only half an hour each so very little time for fit questions. Instead we jumped right into the case. The first one was a basic new entrepreneur question, the second one included some back of the envelope question. The personalities of the two interviewers were very different so it felt like they were testing your ability to adapt.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about a time in which you failed in a leadership role.
The interview process was straightforward, two cases interviews in both the first and second rounds. No behavioral questions but you can ask them questions at the end. The only question they ask other than the cases is why office.
First round consist of 2 cases, both had lots of math and interviewers only do the case with the applicant. Also, need to make sure your framework and math are all correct since it’s minimal time.
2 days, 4 interviews total. first day was 2 30 minute and second day was 2 45 minute with higher level employees. All were cases, some more formal than others
