I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Bain & Company (Boston, MA) in Mar 2016
Interview
I learned of this job through a staffing agency. They submitted my resume directly to Bain. The interview process took about two weeks. I had two interviews before accepting a job elsewhere. At each interview, I met with two people from the HR team. I would have had a third final interview, where I would have met two more people from the team, had I finished the interview process.
