I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Bain & Company (Brussels) in Apr 2023
I was invited for an interview after participating in the Results Challenge. The interview consisted of two cases with junior consultants. The difficulty of the cases was average. There is also a casual behavioral interview with someone from HR.
- Behavioral: what is the most negative feedback you have ever received and how did you react? Cases: profitability

Ad un primo colloquio conoscitivo con responsabili HR seguiranno poi dei colloqui tecnici con manager e partner dell'azienda dove verrano poi testati i candidati mediante business cases. Il numero di colloqui tecnici può variare da processo a processo ma sono due solitamente.

Pretty interesting case study that was provided. A lot of scope to ask clarifying questions and develop line of thought and strategy. The good thing was that they were pretty transparent about there not being a right or wrong answer, but they wanted to follow my train of thought and rationale as I developed a response in real time.
- How would you present the results of this case study in a one-pager to the C-suite?

Great process, structured interviews with clear objectives. Approachable interviewers. Very open to sharing feedback. The process included 1 guesstimate round, 2 case study rounds followed by final interview with the partner. Partner round is generally more free-flowing and less structured. Expect unconventional cases.
- Guesstimate followed by 2 case studies
