I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Bain & Company (Dallas, TX) in Feb 2011
Interview
Flew down for all day second-round, all paid for. Had two one hour case interviews, fairly straightforward. There was also a meeting with a Manager for about a half hour trying to gauge my interest in and actual understanding of consulting. Went out to lunch with a couple ACs, overall positive experience just not a cultural fit.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
My friend is opening up a wedding dress store in Dallas-Ft Worth. What should she consider/estimate market share after first year.
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.
2 rounds of 3 interviews.
The first round includes a fit interview.
All interviews feel very relaxed, but they still expect you to move through the case fast and in a structured way.
