I applied online. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Bain & Company in Feb 2020
Interview
5 interviews of ~ 45 minutes (2 consultants/ 2 managers / 1 partner)
Always a part about yourself, your motivations, skills and experience (~15 min) and a part which consists in a case (~25 min).
There is always a time to ask questions at the end (and you have to ask some questions).
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Explain multiple examples where you demonstrated leadership and problem-solving skills (typically, other than what is already on your CV or in your cover letter).
3 Interviews: 2 Case, 1 Personal Fit.
Personal Fit interview normally with Partner or Principal
Interesting cases, graphics are normally quite hard and enough time should be spend on those
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Compliance Question, how to handle something unfortunate from a compliane perspective
i had an interview with Bain after completing my online assessment. They gave me 4 days to prepare for the two case and 1 behavioral interviews in the first round. Is this normal?
Typical consulting cases with 5 minutes of behavioral in the beginning. Two separate interviewers for the first round; math questions were not hard and mostly focused on market sizing. Good luck!
