I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Bain & Company
Interview
Started off with a standard online application with CV and cover letter. Then got invited to do an online timed numerical and verbal assessment. The assessment itself was not particularly challenging, but do need to practice how to do the calculation fast. I applied to the London office and the competition was fierce thus the minimum standard for passing the test was pretty high. I didn't pass through this round of assessment.
Other Associate Consultant interview reviews for Bain & Company
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.
