I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Bain & Company (Charlottesville, VA) in Sep 2015
Interview
Both first-round interviews were cases. Interviewers were very friendly and professional.
While I didn't move on to the next round, they were very amicable and provided constructive feedback when I asked them, so I knew what to work on for cases in the future.
Overall a great experience. Just wish I had done better.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How would you estimate the size of xxxxx market in the United States? (In context of a 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.
