I applied through college or university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Bain & Company
Interview
got the interview invite through on-campus career center. went through the 1st round by nailing two typical cases (no behavioral questions). the 2nd round was in a hotel. the interviewers really tried to throw you off by providing lots of information that were irrelevant to the case - i was tricked. If i knew before hand, i could have done better.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
case questions: there was one case the interviewer threw 11-12 exhibits at me and asked for takeaways
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.
