      Associate Consultant Intern Interview

      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Bain & Company (Los Angeles, CA) in Feb 2007

      Interview

      Bain is known for their relaxed and collegial atmosphere (compared with, say, McKinsey or BCG). My experience was no different. About eight college students (mostly rising juniors/seniors) were scheduled for my time slot. Each interviewee had to do two case interviews in the first round. If selected, the final round had three case interviews. When I applied, competition was tough. Around 36 people were interviewing for four positions. However, everybody at Bain, from the HR manager to the senior consultants were all a pleasure to deal with.

      Interview questions [2]

      Question 1

      The first case I received was about a fast food chain (think McDonald's) competing with an established coffee franchise (think Starbucks) and what an effective strategy might be to do this.
      Answer question

      Question 2

      The second case was about a large research hospital trying to cut costs and the various strategies that they should try.
