Bain Capital Interview Questions

If you are a college graduate looking for experience with managing dashboards for investors - this is the perfect company for you. The project managers are very young and they are kept that way by 2 senior managers. If you are an experienced project manager and you are attending for the interview, keep in mind this interview is purely to know what are the best practices in the industry. You will not be attending an interview but giving a free consultation on how external companies are doing their best practices. I attend the interview which was more on 1. What are the program management templates that can be used to show senior management on status 2. How the infrastructure and cloud computing are being leveraged in the industry. Mid way in to the interview, I understood that I was over qualified for the job they gave me an impression of . I declined to move ahead right after the interview . I even got a feeling of political dynamics with in the team which gave a hint of power struggle .

Phone interview, younger member of firm who seemed somewhat full of himself. My experience is that the people there are not the nicest. No offense to Mitt Romney, who seems like a good guy, but in general it seems like there are a lot of individuals at this company who are very into themselves and nothing else.

I met with the lead executive assistant who supports when of the founding members. She added me and had a conversation about my background skills and style while explaining in detail the culture at Bain and the working styles Of the executives this role supports

meeting with HR associate, excel test, interviews with the current team (3 out of 4). Hr associate was GREAT but they went WEEKS without informing me of any next steps and didnt explain why until a month later (the manager was on vacation). horrible communication and very entitled and stuck up employees

Phone call, then in person interview in their office. I did not receive an offer following the office interview. None of the questions were super difficult. Overall a positive experience

First round was all behavioral, second round focused more on prior job experience and what you could offer to the team. They are mostly looking for driven people who can learn quick and make a difference fast.

They screened me via phone and then carried out a single round of interviewing. They asked me for basic excel skills and then behavioral questions. I accepted the job when they called me right after the interview.

Consulting like cases with more of a big picture investment focus (vs. "fixing xyz division"). Requires some back of the envelope / mental math (e.g. market sizing). Have to go through a handful of these to get a job.

Met with 4 different interviewers. Very straight forward questions, felt like they were trying to get to know me and see if I was a good fit. Nothing technical was asked

Two rounds case studies, each time 3 interviews with different people. All relating to Bain's previous or current investments. Very similar case studies to consulting interviews, maybe a bit more maths-focused
