I applied through university. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Bain & Company (Dallas, TX) in Sept 2013
Interview
Case interviews, 2 per round, 2 rounds. I was interviewed on campus by a manager and a case team leader. Then invited into the office for second round interviews with a manager and a partner. Case questions in first round were slightly easier (market sizing etc). Case questions usually come from the interviewer's experience so feel free to ask them about the case and the answer their team came to.
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.
2 rounds of 3 interviews.
The first round includes a fit interview.
All interviews feel very relaxed, but they still expect you to move through the case fast and in a structured way.
