I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Bain & Company (Bangkok) in Jan 2025
Interview
Two rounds of back to back case studies (30 minutes each). Relatively straightforward cases involving Market Strategy and Acquisition Strategy. Some bar chart analysis and they expect you to ask questions. Use CasePrep and you will do great.

Question 1
A case about a Carpet Sales company looking to expand its product into China: graphs presented included current market cap in China, and time charts about trends in sales of the company over time—calculations about percentages and critical thinking.
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.
