Bain & Company Interview Questions

Application

I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Bain & Company.

Interview

The interview was friendly and consisted of some personal (leadership, experience, etc.) questions and cases. The cases were interesting and novel, and the interviewers seemed to really want to get to know me. They were also open about their experiences at the firm.

Interview

2 case interviews back-to-back (1 with a consultant, 1 with a principal). Both interviewers were friendly and helpful which made the whole process an enjoyable one. The first case was a pretty standard one--particularly for Bain, and focused on whether the client, a Private Equity firm, should invest in a company (and involved some market analysis and profitability calculations). The other case was more of a brainstorming session on the major factors affecting customer demand for a particular good. There were some basic fit questions interspersed but overall the interviews were heavily case focused.

Interview

After passing an initial phone screening, I was scheduled on short notice to interview in person with 5 people (back to back). The process took nearly three hours. I followed up with a thank you to each and every one of them, received replies from two who said I should hear something soon. Followed up a week later with one of them and was told the same thing. It has now been a month since that follow up. Being ghosted on is rather unpleasant and very unprofessional.

Application

I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Bain & Company (San Francisco, CA) in July 2017.

Interview

I first had an over the phone interview which went great, the person who interviewed me was very insightful and shared that she was new to the company as well. I was asked a lot of typical scenario questions. A couple days later I was called to do the second round of interviews were I would meet with 3 people in charge of the department I was applying for.

Questions were not challenging, rather very basic scenario questions. I felt like I had more challenging questions for them a in regards to they're company however they were unable to answer, in fact they showed no passion for Bain (lack of company knowledge I guess) this company seems to be doing all the right things in business.

Interview

it was a good process. they were very nice. The questions are somtimes hard, and require a lot of thought, but then again being a managment consultant is very demanding. The bain people were definitely the smartest of any of the consulting firms'

I only made it as far as the initial phone screening, which was filled with pretty run of the mill questions like "what's a time you displayed attention to detail?" I spoke with someone from the global services hr department and they said if I made it passed the first round there would be at least four more interviews conducted with various supervisors and members of global and practice teams.
