      Associate Consultant Interview

      10 Apr 2019
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Melbourne
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Bain & Company (Melbourne) in Mar 2019

      Interview

      Applied online with a CV and cover letter. Was then asked to do a psychometric test which wasn't difficult (not the typical logical reasoning, numerical skills test, but more like a test to gauge your personality/decision-making). Quick initial screening (about a week) and got to know about first-round interviews. There was a pre-interview cocktail night which was great because you got to meet others and people from the firm. We were also given the names of our interviewees one day before the interview. The interview was a case interview with 3 x 45 minute case studies. These were difficult but the interviewers were generally supportive and helped you if you got too stuck. Had a few behavioural questions at the end of one of the case interviews (after a market sizing question) but not too many. One of the interviewers called a few hours after the interview itself confirming a place in the final round. He was extremely helpful and gave a lot of feedback on how to improve for the next round. Final round interviews were 2 x 45 minute case interviews with Partners. These cases were tougher and the interviewers gave much less feedback/support. Did not receive an offer in the end but it was a great learning experience.

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Bain & Company (Zürich)

      Interview

      Drei Interviewrunden, je ein Interviewer: zwei englischsprachige Case Studies (Interviewer-geführt, strukturiert) sowie Personal Fit mit situativen Fragen ohne CV-Bezug - keine Angaben zu Praktika oder Uni gefragt. Stattdessen Reaktionsfragen à la „Wie würdest du in Situation XYZ reagieren?". Mit solider Vorbereitung nichts Unerwartetes. Alle Interviewer sehr freundlich und aufgeschlossen — angenehme, entspannte Atmosphäre throughout.
