I applied through university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Bain & Company (London, England) in Feb 2016
Interview
Very friendly, lots of engagement before and after the interview. Interviewers were all very personable and friendly - still tough though. The 1st round interviews all started with a few minutes of introduction about the interviewer and then led pretty much directly into the case, there was a few minutes at the end for questions. The two second round interviews I did were just broad conversations with the partners and no case, although I know that this is not normal.
Ghosted by HR for Malaysia office after interviewing 3 rounds. Interviewed by associate, senior associate and partner. Typical consulting case questions. Not too difficult and employees were relatively personable. Would've appreciated better communication from the HR team instead of simple ghosting. do better
I applied online and got a online assessment after ~1 week. I completed the online test but I haven't heard back since then. The timeline is a bit uncertain to me.
First round case interviews. Got standard questions about profitability and market entry. IMO the most difficult part was reading complex charts and distilling the key insights with time pressure. There was little behavioral.
