I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Bain & Company (Rom) in Jul 2012
Interview
Very classic management consulting interview process based on case studies. I met 2 managers and 2 partners on top of a short interview with HR. It is very important to prepare the interview with all the material available online and practice a lot ( better with somebody else). Get some practice also with calculations

I interviewed at Bain & Company (Gurgaon, Haryana)
Interview
It was like having a good conversation. The interviewer wanted to know about my work, asked me two guesstimates in detail and many questions about my projects and other work experiences
I applied online. I interviewed at Bain & Company (München, Bayern)
Interview
The process is structured and efficient, consisting of multiple rounds including HR screening, case interviews, and final discussions with senior leadership. Interviewers are professional but distant. The focus is heavily on performance and fit, with limited insight into leadership expectations. Overall, a well-organized but somewhat impersonal experience

Question 1
How do you lead a project where senior client stakeholders are not aligned on the objective?
