I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Bain & Company (Chicago, IL) in Nov 2009
Interview
It was a standard case interview, 1 per consultant, exactly how they said it would be. The financial case was ok, but the operations case was what tripped me up. I thought I was prepared, but the operations part was a weakness for me, and I was unlucky to get a tough case in that subject. I was disappointed in the result but don't have any complaints about it.

Ghosted by HR for Malaysia office after interviewing 3 rounds. Interviewed by associate, senior associate and partner. Typical consulting case questions. Not too difficult and employees were relatively personable. Would've appreciated better communication from the HR team instead of simple ghosting. do better
I applied online and got a online assessment after ~1 week. I completed the online test but I haven't heard back since then. The timeline is a bit uncertain to me.
