I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Bain & Company
Interview
Applied via on-campus recruiting at a non-target MBA program. After being selected for a first round, a consultant contacted me and offered to talk about Bain and run a practice case interview. First round interview consisted of 2 case interviews (with 5 minutes of behavioral to start each). Interviewee led cases, mainly focused on profitability. Got a call that night for 2nd round. Second round was tougher, one written case, one regular case, and a behavioral interview. Everyone in the process was very nice and helpful.

Question 1
Mainly case questions focused on profitability. One PE case on an acquisition. Behavioral was mainly tell me about yourself, why Bain, and why consulting.
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?

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.
