I applied online. I interviewed at Bain & Company (Chicago, IL) in Aug 2024
Interview
2 rounds of interviews. Both rounds had 2 rounds of behavioral and case interviews. First round was pretty stock. Second round was less stock, but still doable. I threw the final case interview pretty hard, so I knew I wasn't getting the offer.

Two case interviews in each round, not necessarily difficult. Profitability and Growth focused cases. First round with managers, second round I was with recruiters unlike normal partners. Not many behaviorals.

What is one thing you don't like about your university?
I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Bain & Company (Gurgaon, Haryana)
Interview
The person taking the interview was inactive and it was obvious he had just woken up. The entire interview he carried with a sense of disinterest and hurry and I had to make sure that the interview went long enough.
