I applied online. I interviewed at Bain & Company (Los Angeles, CA)
Interview
Structure: two 30min cases
Content: pretty standard questions for both + my interviewers were nice. one of the cases had numbers that refused to work out despite me trying to round, and I was stuck doing long division, probably should have estimated more
Got the sense that the LA office was extra selective and small during the interview prep call
There was a resume and online assessment. I was then invited to Round One which consisted of two cases. Round Two followed about a week later and also had 2 cases. Round One and Round Two were both virtual rounds.
2 rounds of interviews primarily focused on case, with some behavioral questions second round. Each interview consists of two interviewers who will interview separately with different cases. Interviews last 30-45 minutes.
