I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Bain & Company (Boston, MA) in Oct 2009
Interview
There are two rounds of interviews. If you are offered a second round interview, your odds of getting an offer are quite good. Each round of interviews consists of two back-to-back 30-minute interviews with a senior employee. Each 30 minute segment consists of about 15 minutes of "fit" questions and about 15 minutes of a practice case. The interviewers, like the vast majority of people at the firm, are very pleasant and encouraging.
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.
2 rounds of 3 interviews.
The first round includes a fit interview.
All interviews feel very relaxed, but they still expect you to move through the case fast and in a structured way.
