      Consultant Interview

      8 Jan 2014
      Anonymous employee
      São Paulo, São Paulo
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through university. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Bain & Company (São Paulo, São Paulo) in Apr 2012

      Interview

      It starts of with a group interview where groups of 4 members are designed to solve a business case in three steps. This first phase is more to get a feeling of the applicants. Then there were three consulting rounds, each with two interviews with different interviewers, where were considered the proficiency in solving business cases, with increasing difficulty in each round. The interviewers were all really kind and seemed eager to help out when the applicant got stuck, but it’s a very difficult job interview overall

      Question 1

      It was not unexpected, but the reason why consulting and why Bain really seemed to be of great importance for each interviewer, where not “homemade” answers were greatly welcomed.

      Application

      I interviewed at Bain & Company

      Interview

      First round case interviews. Got standard questions about profitability and market entry. IMO the most difficult part was reading complex charts and distilling the key insights with time pressure. There was little behavioral.

      The interview was overall efficiently run and very professional. It had 2 stages; a case interview typical of management consuting interviews and a fit interview to assess cultural fit with the firm.
