I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Bain & Company (Los Angeles, CA) in Oct 2009
Interview
Applied through the college career center website and Bain's recruiting website. After receiving an interview offer, I scheduled an interview for the following week. Bain interviewed students throughout the day in groups of four with each student performing back-to-back case interviews. We were told to expect the result of our interview later in the afternoon through a phone call and to plan for second round interviews at the office the next day or next week.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
I'd just recommend for interviewees to be familiar with mental math for the cases. They vary from interviewer to interviewer.
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.
