I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Bain & Company (Washington, DC) in Oct 2016
Interview
First round interview consisted of two 30-minute cases. Second round consisted of two 40-minute cases. Each had some basic personality questions mixed in. The interviewers were all quite nice and eager to assist during the cases. There were no tricks, no stunts, and nobody tried to make me feel off balance or uncomfortable.
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.
