Interviewed Jan 2012 (took 1 week)
ACI Interview consisted of two case interviews with two different consultants. Pretty basic cases: private equity and analyzing profits. Interviewers provided graphs/data, and other information and helped steer you in the right direction. About 30 minutes with each interviewer, leaving about 10 minutes for additional questions/small talk. Really friendly and personable, not antagonizing at all.

Great people, interesting cases. The final round cases are more quantitative for sure. But overall pleasant experience.

Interviewed Jan 2010 (took a day)
2 back to back, 45 minute case interviews on campus. 1st interview basically no behavioral questions, no attempt to get to know me. 2nd interview approx 3 minutes of introduction and then a case. Both interviewers were pretty nice however and helpful. Very fast paced, but normal case questions. My advice for future candidates; just practice your cases and be confident.

Interviewed Jan 2010 in New York, NY (took a day)
There were 2 back to back case interviews, both are 30mins long. The first was regarding starting a milking operation in a small city and the second was a private equity acquisition evaluation.
The interviewers were very nice but because of limited time, there were no personal questions. They give you lots of hints on how to progress and often remind you when you make a mistake (but its best that you don't make any)

Interviewed Feb 2009 (took a day)
Bain did a presentation on my college campus and is a regular recruiter there. I did my interview over the phone because I was abroad. I did two rounds - two cases in each round along with some questions about some of my experiences. I'm not sure how many people were interviewed.
True to their reputation for being down-to-earth and friendly, my four interviewers were all very helpful (gave me feedback after my first round) and supportive. Definitely the type of people who would be a pleasure to work with.

Interviewed Feb 2007 in Los Angeles, CA (took 2 weeks)
Bain is known for their relaxed and collegial atmosphere (compared with, say, McKinsey or BCG). My experience was no different. About eight college students (mostly rising juniors/seniors) were scheduled for my time slot. Each interviewee had to do two case interviews in the first round. If selected, the final round had three case interviews. When I applied, competition was tough. Around 36 people were interviewing for four positions. However, everybody at Bain, from the HR manager to the senior consultants were all a pleasure to deal with.
