I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Bain & Company (London, England) in Nov 2017
Interview
1. CV Screening + Online test
2. Round 1 (2 interviews) - Market Sizing case questions
3. Final Round (3 interviews)
First interview you present your findings from a document they give you to read for 30 mins - VERY TIME RESTRAINED!
Second interview is as standard case interview: Profitability and/or growth cases.
Final interview: Very vague interview, strategy based case. Normally on real life case that the interviewer did.
2 rounds, 1st round 2 small cases, not very difficult , market entry cases.
2nd long case with a deck to read and prepare answers..45 mins to read, 15 mins to answer
Three rounds of interviews, generally 2 rounds in person or remote with live consultants. Each round involves a 2-3 case interviews each, which generally also include a set of behavioural questions.
Drei Interviewrunden, je ein Interviewer: zwei englischsprachige Case Studies (Interviewer-geführt, strukturiert) sowie Personal Fit mit situativen Fragen ohne CV-Bezug - keine Angaben zu Praktika oder Uni gefragt. Stattdessen Reaktionsfragen à la „Wie würdest du in Situation XYZ reagieren?". Mit solider Vorbereitung nichts Unerwartetes. Alle Interviewer sehr freundlich und aufgeschlossen — angenehme, entspannte Atmosphäre throughout.
