I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Bain & Company (Hong Kong) in Nov 2012
Interview
They have four rounds of interviews. First is phone interviews, which I didn't receive.So I progressed directly to the second round. They call it case interview workshop but essentially it is a group interview where they will select candidates to the first-round 2 back to back interviews with consultants. Two hours after I finished my first round interviews, I received the phone calls to go back the next day for final round interviews, again 2 back to back interviews with one Partner and one manager.

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.
