I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Bain & Company (Beijing, Beijing) in Mar 2012
Interview
Be invited to a group interview at Beijing. Read a case together with the 8 people group. After ten minutes, we were required to discuss about the case. Then gave out a presentation about the findings. The case was something including market sizing. Actually it happened in 2012 so that I could hardly remember. The presentation was given by only one representative from us. The consultant held the whole interview. After one week, I got the result.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
It is not difficult at all if you have read some case books. General case. Group discussion with strangers may be hard. I hate group interview.
I interviewed at Bain & Company (Shanghai, Shanghai)
Interview
A 15-minute phone call to go over resumes and past experiences. Some questions were asked on basic excel techniques and time management skills. The interview is overall smooth and easy.

I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Bain & Company in May 2024
Interview
First round online written tests, done on zoom. Pretty easy, with some calculation and case-based multiple choice questions. The second round is a phone interview with an AC at the office, asking about my resume and a market sizing question. Around 15 minutes long, the AC was friendly and didn't ask too-detailed questions

Question 1
Tell us more about your project at XXX(previous internship)?
Was interviewed twice because the first one was probably not documented. The interviewer couldn't find my name on the name list. HR management is kinda messy. Some motivation questions and a mini case.
