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.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Bain & Company
Interview
2 rounds with 5 interviews, including 4 case interviews. For one case interview, you are given 15 minutes to prepare.
For the non-case interview, the interviewer tries to test your fit with the firm. In my case it was quite a casual, open discussion and it didn't feel too stressful.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why do you want to start a career in management consulting?
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.
