I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Bain & Company (Munich, Bavaria)
Interview
Application to a recruiting event with CV and Cover Letter.
Was initially not accepted to the recruiting event, but flexible recruiters decided to offer a spot in interviews.
2 rounds of 4 and then 2 interviews were scheduled within 2 weeks of each other. Offer was given in the final interview. Entire process over in about 3 weeks total.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Given your work history, why do you want to work in consulting?
2 rounds of interviews, each round consisting of 3 interviews with cases. In the first round 2 case interviews and 1 with HR. In the 2nd round you have 3 interviews with more senior profiles like managers and partners.
Interviewers were really nice, but the process was difficult. Standard level cases and they expected you to take them through multiple business problems. If you practice casing frequently with multiple partners, you should be fine.

Question 1
Please walk me through how you would approach this case.
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.
