I had two 1:1 interviews with professionals. They were very sweet and professional. Two interviews were all about case interviews with no behavioral questions.
I applied through college or university. The process took 7 weeks. I interviewed at Bain & Company (Ann Arbor, MI) in Jan 2013
Interview
Standard MBA target-school hiring process - several receptions and events throughout the fall, pre-interview reception night before interview. Interview itself was 2 45-minute interviews, a few fit + 30 min case for each interview.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
I think I got tripped up on one of the cases via a math mistake - obviously don't make these.
Application online followed by a first round interview at their offices. Quantitative and case study questions. Results came out about 3 weeks later. Very impersonal and interview feedback takes at least a month to receive with members of the HR team hard to get hold of.
