Interview
I was asked to explain why Google wanted to make a self-driving car. They were looking for more of my thought process than my actual answer, however, I think I stumbled at first as I was so prepared to do a case interview. Oh well.

Interview
A recruiter contacted me about my online application and asked to schedule an initial phone call regarding my background and experience. She asked me questions about my past employment, why I was looking for a new job, why Bain/ this role in particular. A few days later, I had my first round of interviews with four different members of the team, who asked me a mix of situational questions and behavioral questions: what were my biggest strengths/ weaknesses, why am I excited about this role, where do I see myself in 5 years, etc. A couple of weeks after, I came into the office a second time for another round of interviews. I met three different individuals on the HR team and had a similar array of questions. Everyone was welcoming and very honest with me about the responsibilities and culture.

Interview
Het hele sollicitatieproces ging erg snel. Alle rondes waren op één dag. Zeer fijne sfeer en vriendelijke mensen. De eerste ronde kan intens zijn, je hebt 4 gesprekken in 3,5/4 uur. De cases waren precies zoals je zou verwachten dat ze zouden zijn (deskundige schattingen en marktgroei vragen).
