Bain & Company Interview Questions

Interview

Intense process but predicable with your standard case study questions but a particular focus on cultural fit. Being in line with Bain culture is the biggest thing which matters the most to them. Be ready for mental math consulting cases

Application

I applied online. I interviewed at Bain & Company.

Interview

Two B2B cases, with brief 3Y questions up front; and then cases with calculation and graphs; after the cases, there is follow up behavior questions, quite similar to SJT, and finally a brief Q&A

Interview

2 case interviews were given to me
Each was 30 minutes
No behaviorals asked besides "tell me about yourself"
Friendly interviewers
Have not gotten back to me yet but said they would soon

Application

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

Interview

The first round is the Coding project within 4 hours. The second round is interviewing with two people, one by one, they are from the team and one is the team manager. The conversation is really smooth and the tech case is not hard. But the 4 hours project can be challenging. I spent total time on that.

I applied through college or university. The process took 3+ months. I interviewed at Bain & Company.

Interview

Interview process was friendly, challenging, and collaborative. Most company interactions are evaluative so be friendly, write thank you emails, follow up when you can. Making a good impression on recruiting is important for initial screening, but after that, you have to be quick and creative when doing cases, as well as calm, friendly, and curious during interviews.

Interview

DO NOT waste your time for FWRD@Bain. They give you a run around regarding the hiring process. 2 Phone, 1 In-person and then NOTHING! Zero communication and it seems to be the norm for this place. I will be calling Bain HR and letting them know what this "affiliated" company is doing for HR practices

This was an unbelievably transparent process -- obviously difficult, particularly the case questions, but there weren't any surprises. The firm's culture comes out at every level, from Consultants to Partners.

Interview

The interview was a bit nerve wrecking, it seemed as though the interviewers (at least one of the two) was also trying to catch me out during the process.

Application

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Bain & Company (Dallas, TX).

Interview

Interviewer wasn't technical enough, was a generic HR interview with behavioral questions. Initially did get an offer but was pulled for not having a degree despite over a decade of experience at FANG companies. Seems they are pretty strict on this requirement and or possibly not sure what they want.

Application

I applied through college or university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Bain & Company.

Interview

First round was on campus. There were 2 interviews that consisted of 1 case each. If you finish the cases quickly, they'll ask a few behavioral questions. Second round was in the office I was interviewing for and had a similar structure. 3 cases with more senior members of the firm, with a bit of behavioral if time allows.
