      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Bain & Company (Chicago, IL) in Jan 2008

      Interview

      I am an MBA student at University of Chicago Booth School of Business. Bain had an organized presence on campus with several presentations, opportunities to meet with with current employees, cocktails/dinners etc. Following this, we applied online for the positions, and a large number of people(110 or so) from school were selected for first round interviews on campus - which consisted of two back to back 45 minute case based interviews. Although the cases were analytical and challenging, the interviewers were extremely supportive and friendly through the process. I was then invited for a second and final round of interviews at the Bain office. This was a series of 3 45 min back to back - 2 case interviews and a fit interview with partners. Again, cases were challenging and made me thinking, but the interviewers were extremely encouraging. The culture of this firm is extremely collaborative and fun - that clearly comes across in any visit to the offices.

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Bain & Company (Zürich)

      Interview

      Really smooth and clear. Was supported at every stage and felt like I could clearly demonstrate my skills. Found the casing harder than expected but behaviorals were genuinely interesting to answer.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Imagine you are working on an M&A case and you meet a friend for dinner who works for that company and has just been fired. He reports huge issues that are non-public material information. What would you do?
