I applied through an employee referral. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Bain & Company (Seoul) in Nov 2024
Interview
60 minutes 1 on 1 online interview. The interviewer is a manager level. We spent around 30 minutes on why consulting. The other 30 minutes was a simple case study that I think she came up herself.

Question 1
Let's assume that there is a local amusement park that wants to expand to another country. What are the factors that you have to consider?
Team-based ACT interview; The call was quite short (20 minutes) with no case interview - asked deeply about my past experiences and how I would approach certain research tasks. I would recommend submitting resumes ASAP (as soon as the job posting is uploaded) for team-based ACT roles.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Bain & Company (Seoul)
Interview
Excellent interview process, highly responsive recruitment team. Responds very fast to inquiries and gets back quickly for interviews. Could not proceed with offer due to ineligibility for F4 visa. Great culture, great learning opportunities and interesting conversations.

Question 1
Debated about a startup case on whether or not a PE firm should acquire the startup and what the startup can do to become more attractive to investors.
Few case questions and guestimation questions if needed. After that there will be rounds of phone interviews on research methods and your working style. The case questions were pretty straight forward and for research methods you should have your own style of research method.
