Interview

Was not overly impressed with interview. It was a formula based interview process. Not the least bit dynamic. Very obvious a script of questions were being asked. Luckily it wasn't a face to face interview - I would have been rolling my eyes and probably would have left during the middle of the interview.

Interview

Overall, it was a really great experience. One phone screening call and then two rounds of two cases. The cases were interviewer led for the most part but definitely require knowledge of how to drive a case. Slight behavioral component during the final round, but mostly revolved around the cases.

Interview

Round 1 - 2 x 40 minute interviews. Brief, unstructured fit questions: "Why Bain?" and "Why office location?" First case was very interviewer led, no framework was created. Moderate amount of quant, moderate difficulty. Second case was very interviewee led. Cost analysis of a mattress company. Structure was very important to solving the case.

I interviewed for 30 minutes by phone and then spent an hour in-person at their midtown NYC location. The team was warm and welcoming, but I found out that they had already chosen someone to hire and had me come in as a backup.

Interview

Typical two round interview. First round was two case interviews and second was a written case interview. Some of the nicest people you’ll ever meet. It didn’t feel like interviewing at all (except for the written case), and felt like a feee flowing chat for 45 mins.
