I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Bain & Company (Dallas, TX) in Oct 2015
Interview
For my final round interview I was invited to their offices. They paid for all my expenses and were very accommodating. I had two one hour interviews in which I was asked behavioral questions for 15-20 minutes, did a case for 30 minutes, then had some time to ask questions. The interviewers showed interest in getting to know me and whether or not I'd be a good fit.

What was some feedback you received during your last internship?

Three rounds of interviews, generally 2 rounds in person or remote with live consultants. Each round involves a 2-3 case interviews each, which generally also include a set of behavioural questions.
Drei Interviewrunden, je ein Interviewer: zwei englischsprachige Case Studies (Interviewer-geführt, strukturiert) sowie Personal Fit mit situativen Fragen ohne CV-Bezug - keine Angaben zu Praktika oder Uni gefragt. Stattdessen Reaktionsfragen à la „Wie würdest du in Situation XYZ reagieren?". Mit solider Vorbereitung nichts Unerwartetes. Alle Interviewer sehr freundlich und aufgeschlossen — angenehme, entspannte Atmosphäre throughout.
