I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Bain & Company (New York, NY) in Oct 2018
Interview
First Round - 2 case interviews on the phone - 30 mins each
Final Round - 3 case interviews in person - 40 mins each with some behavioural questions in between
Cases were all very easy in terms of frameworks needed. Mainly profitability cases.
2 rounds of interviews, each round consisting of 3 interviews with cases. In the first round 2 case interviews and 1 with HR. In the 2nd round you have 3 interviews with more senior profiles like managers and partners.
Interviewers were really nice, but the process was difficult. Standard level cases and they expected you to take them through multiple business problems. If you practice casing frequently with multiple partners, you should be fine.

Question 1
Please walk me through how you would approach this case.
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.
