Interview Details – The whole process is very friendly and well organized. Both first round and second round are both at the company. Frist round is two 30 min case with two associate consultants, second round is three 45 min case with two VPs and one partner. Everyone is really nice and willing to talk with you.

Interview Details – Interview consisted of two cases. First case involved laundry as a service and breaking it down into segments to better understand how it could grow. Second case involved a company that owned a mall that was looking at growing its revenue through renovation. Had to calculate basic numbers such as payback period and return on investment.

Negotiation Details – No negotiation allowed.

Interview Details – Was given this interview through a staffing agency. Interviewed with HR manager, managers themselves, and other MAs. Straightforward. Asked a lot about experience and how it would transfer to this company. Company cares about its culture and getting the right fit. Personality is important. They want you to really know about what they do as a business.

Interview Details – Two 30 minute case interviews. Both were one on one. Applied through campus recruiting. Basic cases. One was more market focused and one was more strategy with numbers included. If you are competent at cases you will be fine. Some interviewers gave more feedback than others, so be prepared to talk for an extended period of time if your interviewer isn't providing as much help. Study your cases and practice.

Interview Details – Two rounds of interviews. First round on campus, with two case interviews. Second round was at the Bain office, with another two case interviews (this time with more senior people). Everyone was very friendly and helpful throughout, and the company was very generous with accommodations for the second round. Company was also very good about having alumni reach out to you for practice before each round of interviews.

Interview Details – The entire process consisted of four interviews (two sets of two back-to-back interviews). The first two took place on my college campus, and for the second two I was flown out to my preferred office. I got the interviews through networking emails and phone calls. All of my interviewers were very relaxed, though it was clear that they expected me to produce when it came to the case. Very brief small talk at the beginning - "What's your story?" kind of questions, and then they would jump into the case.

Interview Details – On-campus recruiting event, followed by Information session on how to Ace a case interview. Overall very organized system. Got assigned a buddy (a 2nd year AC), even though just 4-5 days before the first-round interview.

First-round interview on campus made up of two 30 minute long case interviews.

Interview Details – On campus interview. Two 45-minute cases with 2 interviewers.

Interview Details – Submitted app via LinkedIn. Was contacted by recruiter within a few weeks. After a normal telephone interview, was invited to the local office to participate in an in-person interview. First met with the HR recruiter I had the tele interview with. Then had 4 separate interviews with different members of helpdesk team. Each took about 30 minutes.
