I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Bain & Company in Mar 2010
Interview
After the Resume screening, the interview process consists of 6 interviews. Two 1:1 interviews at each round. 1st, 2nd, and 3rd.
Each interview is about 40 min. long. 10 min. of fit, and 30 min. of case interviews.
Except, the final round is usually more focused on the fit.
So, cracking the case is the most important thing you have to do. If you nail every case, you;ll get your offer.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
Tell me your most proud experience on your resume.
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.
2 rounds of 3 interviews.
The first round includes a fit interview.
All interviews feel very relaxed, but they still expect you to move through the case fast and in a structured way.
