Interview
Case study with a shipping company case. Reasonably easy unlock about marginal rates for return containers. Rest was chit chat. Interviewer was nice and loves bain. Made me want to work there.
Math test pre filter to interviews. It was challenging so make sure to practice before hand with some online tests. Don’t spend too long on any question, just guess and move on
Typical consulting interview process on campus with multiple rounds of case interviews. Depending on the applicant, this can be 2-3 rounds with different interviewees at each step. Positive experience overall with all rounds taking place on 1 day
