I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Bain & Company
Interview
Started off with a standard online application with CV and cover letter. Then got invited to do an online timed numerical and verbal assessment. The assessment itself was not particularly challenging, but do need to practice how to do the calculation fast. I applied to the London office and the competition was fierce thus the minimum standard for passing the test was pretty high. I didn't pass through this round of assessment.
Other Associate Consultant Interview Reviews for Bain & Company
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.
