      Associate Consultant Interview

      Aug 14, 2015
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      São Paulo,
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Bain & Company (São Paulo, ) in Apr 2015

      Interview

      The process took around 2 months. First is the GMAT + Business written test. It is relatively difficult due to time constraints, that's why you should check the samples in their site. After that I was invited to a group interview in which we were required to solve a business case. The case itself is fairly easy - even more if you are familiar with case interviews - but they are looking to see if they would like to work with you. Just be polite, never say something negative and always say something along the lines of "I understand your point, but if you look through this lens...". Finally I was invited to the case interviews. There were 3 rounds, 2 interviews each. The cases were very numerical and difficult, but the Personal Experience questions were all the same: Why consulting? Why Bain?. I was a little frustrated with these questions because it got repetitive and don't really say a lot about the interviewee. The feedback given for the no offer was rather superficial with no suggestion on where to improve. The tip I can give: most of the cases were about investing or not (PE).

      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Bain & Company (Zürich)

      Interview

      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.

      How would you handle a client who is feeling anxious/fearful?
