I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Bain & Company (London, England) in Nov 2024
Interview
It was very quick, an online assessment, and then the first round interviews (which has 3 interviews: 1 market size, 1 full case and a behavioural), and the next stage was the final round interview (which has a presentation)
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What makes you uncomfortable? and how do you deal with it?
2 rounds, 1st round 2 small cases, not very difficult , market entry cases.
2nd long case with a deck to read and prepare answers..45 mins to read, 15 mins to answer
Three rounds of interviews, generally 2 rounds in person or remote with live consultants. Each round involves a 2-3 case interviews each, which generally also include a set of behavioural questions.
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.
