I applied in-person. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Bain & Company (Tokyo) in Jan 2011
Interview
I had several 1 on 1 case interviews with managers and partners of Bain. They asked questions which I needed to think deeply and answer carefully. Each interview took about 45 minutes. At the end of interviews I had an opportunity to ask some questions about the company. Several days after interviews, I received an email that they gave me a job offer.
Ghosted by HR for Malaysia office after interviewing 3 rounds. Interviewed by associate, senior associate and partner. Typical consulting case questions. Not too difficult and employees were relatively personable. Would've appreciated better communication from the HR team instead of simple ghosting. do better
I applied online and got a online assessment after ~1 week. I completed the online test but I haven't heard back since then. The timeline is a bit uncertain to me.
First round case interviews. Got standard questions about profitability and market entry. IMO the most difficult part was reading complex charts and distilling the key insights with time pressure. There was little behavioral.
