I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Bain & Company (London, England) in Nov 2024
Interview
Initial application, then 3 online tests + a one-way video interview, then a 3 hour initial interview (one market sizing, one case, and one fit interview). Didn't make it to the final round, but there would have been a final round interview that was like the initial interview + a presentation.
