I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Bain & Company (London, England) in Nov 2017
Interview
Very nice people - Market Sizing and CV interview (45 mins) followed by Case study and CV interview (45 mins) - two different young ACs who had been at Bain for about a year and a half so far. Both were friendly and helpful at leading through the cases.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Estimate the annual revenues of the average bike shop.
Tell me about x aspect of your CV
Why Bain? Why consulting?
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.
