Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They asked my leadership experience, asked my time to solve a conflict.
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Bain & Company (Paris) in Dec 2025
Interview
Test en ligne puis deux tours d'entretien avec : 1 case & 1 behavioral interview, puis 2 cases et 1 fit interview
Interviewers plutôt bienveillants et sujets de case pas vraiment structurés (market sizing et drivers de croissance)
1st round: 2 30-min cases with manager level
2nd round: 2 30-min cases with partner level
The cases in round 1 are basic cases. In round 2, one was a basic case with market sizing and one was an unconventional case the partner worked on for a project.
