I applied online. I interviewed at Bain & Company (Madrid) in Aug 2022
Interview
Really nice interview process, the consultants are quite professional at leading the interview and help candidates. However not the same for the partners, they require more preparation and knowledge. The first two interviews are lead by senior consultants and they do their best to help you, while the last two interviews are lead by the partners and the scenario is different with them.

Business case questions, depends on the case, either revenues , growth or costs.
