      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through university. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Bain & Company in May 2015

      Interview

      Applied online after Bain came to our university campus for the first time. They took about 2 weeks to reply, only 3 out of 50+ who applied were called for the interview. - The first round consisted of 2 case interviews, One on one, with some very nice senior consultants. - The final round consisted of 1 case interviews and 1 purely fit interview. The case interview was with a Principal, he grilled me more than the first round interviewers, but still very helpful throughout the case. After this i think it was decided. The partner came in to just talk about me and my future in a very friendly manner, the interview didn't last very long and he told me the offer will be sent to me by email next week.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      The fit questions were very general, - Tell me about yourself. - why Bain? - Why consulting (I'm an engineer)? - Did you apply anywhere else? What do you think consultants do? I advise you on preparing all of the interview questions in Case In Point. Moving on to the case study. Since this was an internship interview, the cases were not as difficult as some of the ones I've seen in Case In Point. The interviewers in the first and final round were very friendly and were guiding me throughout the process. They gave me so much time to think about the answers and when doing long calculations (sometimes as long as 2 minutes). One case was about a new flight route, another was about a company's profit rate decreasing because of one of its products. The last one was about how oil in a specific country should be utilized and how electricity consumption can be minimized throughout the country.
