I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Bain & Company (Dallas, TX) in Sep 2013
Interview
Two phone case interviews and two case interviews in Dallas. The phone interviews were 30 minutes long each, and the in person interviews lasted about 45 minutes. The entire process is quick - I found out I had phone interviews in five days, then found out one day later I made the second round which was three days after. Then, the day after, I received my offer. It's fast.
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.
