I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Bain & Company (Brüssel) in Apr 2017
Interview
Interviews consist of some personal questions (around 15 minutes) and a case discussion (30-40 minutes). There are 2 interviews per round and 3 rounds in total. Cases tend to get more difficult (and vague) as you progress through the process. The interviewers are always kind an willing to help if you get stuck during the case.

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.
