I applied through university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Bain & Company (Zürich) in Sept 2013
Interview
I applied through campus interview. The whole process last 1 day. The interview was 45 minutes with short introduction, a bit of go through the CV and then right to the case question. It was a standard candidate led case interview format where he started with just one question. The interview was hold in german and english, since I was interviewing in the german speaking offices. The interviewer was very encouraging.
i had an interview with Bain after completing my online assessment. They gave me 4 days to prepare for the two case and 1 behavioral interviews in the first round. Is this normal?
Typical consulting cases with 5 minutes of behavioral in the beginning. Two separate interviewers for the first round; math questions were not hard and mostly focused on market sizing. Good luck!
case studies and guesstimates followed up by resume questions. first it started with an aptitude test which was hard and then the short listing for interviews. we had 2 interviews per person
