I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Bain & Company in Feb 2016
Interview
There are multiple rounds of interviews, starting on campus and concluding in the office. All interviews were focused on the case interview process, where you analyze business challenges. There was relatively little of standard interview fare in my interviews, so it's all performance based.
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.
