I applied through university. I interviewed at Bain & Company
Interview
Apply online after reaching out informally to existing employees. Internal referrals possible and highly recommended. The standard of candidates and people working there is extremely high and you should expect extreme scrutiny at all stages of the interview process.
Feedback of interviews was very quick and also extremely detailed as to why you passed and failed.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Case method of interviews and several culture fit questions. 5 total rounds
Ghosted by HR for Malaysia office after interviewing 3 rounds. Interviewed by associate, senior associate and partner. Typical consulting case questions. Not too difficult and employees were relatively personable. Would've appreciated better communication from the HR team instead of simple ghosting. do better
I applied online and got a online assessment after ~1 week. I completed the online test but I haven't heard back since then. The timeline is a bit uncertain to me.
First round case interviews. Got standard questions about profitability and market entry. IMO the most difficult part was reading complex charts and distilling the key insights with time pressure. There was little behavioral.
