I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Bain & Company in Nov 2015
Interview
First round consisted of two 30 minutes interviews after an initial pre-interview meeting. The interviews were short cases plus some basic "walk me through your resume" with time for questions - great feedback from the interviewers via phone afterwards! Second round were 2 45 minute interviews with higher level consultants - tougher cases and didn't feel as much of a connection, but probably should have prepared a bit more as well.
Didn't hear back for a while, which was the only slightly annoying aspect, but overall a good experience!
Ghosted by HR for Malaysia office after interviewing 3 rounds. Interviewed by associate, senior associate and partner. Typical consulting case questions. Not too difficult and employees were relatively personable. Would've appreciated better communication from the HR team instead of simple ghosting. do better
I applied online and got a online assessment after ~1 week. I completed the online test but I haven't heard back since then. The timeline is a bit uncertain to me.
First round case interviews. Got standard questions about profitability and market entry. IMO the most difficult part was reading complex charts and distilling the key insights with time pressure. There was little behavioral.
