I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Bain & Company (Chicago, IL) in Aug 2024
Interview
Fairly straightforward with interviewee-led case format. Minimal behavioral aspects and fairly focused on qualitative skills such as math and graphs. Case Topics can cover any variety of the industries that Bain works in.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
A PE company is looking to acquire a janitorial services company to scale its sanitation abilities. What should they consider?
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.
