I applied through other source. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Bain & Company (San Francisco, CA) in Sep 2015
Interview
Two 45 min interview with managers. 5min fit questions (why Bain) followed by a case that the manager worked on before. The bios of the managers are available 15min prior the interviews. During the interview quant portion, it was difficult to gauge if my calculations were on the right track or if the final number is correct. The interviewers expect you to definitively drive the 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.
