I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Bain & Company (Chicago, IL) in Nov 2014
Interview
Career Center website, college recruiting. I submitted a cover letter, resume, and transcript to my college recruiting website. Heard back about a week later for an interview. Cases were actually not too very difficult. Mine was done over Skype. Overall, interview process was very enjoyable. I was contacted the next day regarding the results of the interview. Feedback was given.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Personal questions on my resume for the first 10 minutes then a twenty minute case. 2 30 minute interviews back to back.
Really smooth and clear. Was supported at every stage and felt like I could clearly demonstrate my skills. Found the casing harder than expected but behaviorals were genuinely interesting to answer.

Question 1
Imagine you are working on an M&A case and you meet a friend for dinner who works for that company and has just been fired. He reports huge issues that are non-public material information. What would you do?
I applied through college or university. The process took 7 weeks. I interviewed at Bain & Company in Mar 2026
Interview
Very Professional and Structured. Unique way of process with the behavioural and written case on top of the standard case. 2 round, total 5 interviews.
All the interviewers are really nice, genuinely want you to succeed.
MBA on-campus recruiting cycle. One super day of two cases and one behavioral. All done by partners. Countless coffee chats before actual interview day. Interview was in-person, but not at local office for which we were interviewing.
