I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Bain & Company (Chicago, IL) in Aug 2025
Interview
Interviewee led case, fast paced and unexpected questions. It's completely based. It is meant to challenge the way you process things. Biggest constraint is that you cannot ask them for thinking time.
2 cases for R1. Pretty straightforward cases about revenue optimization opportunities. There was a little bit of market sizing but all data needed was given. No behaviorals asked in round 1 for me.
