I applied through an employee referral. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Bain & Company (Brüssel) in Nov 2018
Interview
Conclusion : entreprise ridicule interdisant formellement les candidats à réfléchir et à structurer pendant l'entretien.
L'interviewer avait une réunion après l'entretien et ne cessait de le répéter pendant l'entretien (minimum 5 fois). Il a notamment interdit toute réflexion et structuration de l'étude de cas pour "gagner son temps".
Du coup j'ai été très déstabilisé pendant l'étude de cas, car tout simplement je n'ai jamais appris à le résoudre sans structure ou être synthétique.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
I ordered you to not synthesize during your presentation, why the damn did you still want to be synthetic?!
Interviewers were really nice, but the process was difficult. Standard level cases and they expected you to take them through multiple business problems. If you practice casing frequently with multiple partners, you should be fine.

Question 1
Please walk me through how you would approach this case.
2 cases for R1. Pretty straightforward cases about revenue optimization opportunities. There was a little bit of market sizing but all data needed was given. No behaviorals asked in round 1 for me.
