Bain & Company interview questions

There were multiple rounds of interviews. 2 shorter interviews in one block for the first round (~30 minutes) with 3 interviews in the second round (~45 minutes). The first round emphasizes quantitative skills and ability to do the case a bit more while the second round places a bit more emphasis on candidate fit.

Applied online (CV and cover letter) in mid December. First round in mid January, consisting of 2 x 30 minute interviews, one with a senior associate consultant and the other with a consultant. Second round 2/3 days after the first round, one interview with a principal lasting 30 minutes. First round: Your friend wants to start a gym. Help him establish how many customers he needs to attract to break even. Tell me about yourself. Why Bain? Estimate the Indian tyre market size. Your client wants to enter Indian market, which segment should it target? Second round: We are a company who wants to decide on whether to specialise in Android or iPhone apps. How would you choose? Why this office? Why did you apply to investment banking (on my CV)?
