I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Bain & Company (Kopenhagen, Region Hovedstaden) in Apr 2015
Interview
Total of six interviews spread over different rounds. Heavy emphasis on case solving, but also some more in depth behavioral questions in the later interviews. The initial cases were quite easy with quite heavy focus on just profitability, the later ones were much tricker and quite ambiguous. I'm not sure how to prepare for the later cases, except doing lots of cases before.
Three rounds of interviews, generally 2 rounds in person or remote with live consultants. Each round involves a 2-3 case interviews each, which generally also include a set of behavioural questions.
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.
