I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Bain & Company
Interview
1st round interview on campus, one with a partner and the other with a manager. They both consisted of a short intro from both parties, but no behavioral questions, and then a case. Both cases were very interviewee led and the key things they were looking for were driving the case, structure, and creativity. Currently waiting for my 2nd round interview.
Really smooth and clear. Was supported at every stage and felt like I could clearly demonstrate my skills. Found the casing harder than expected but behaviorals were genuinely interesting to answer.

Question 1
Imagine you are working on an M&A case and you meet a friend for dinner who works for that company and has just been fired. He reports huge issues that are non-public material information. What would you do?
I applied through college or university. The process took 7 weeks. I interviewed at Bain & Company in Mar 2026
Interview
Very Professional and Structured. Unique way of process with the behavioural and written case on top of the standard case. 2 round, total 5 interviews.
All the interviewers are really nice, genuinely want you to succeed.
MBA on-campus recruiting cycle. One super day of two cases and one behavioral. All done by partners. Countless coffee chats before actual interview day. Interview was in-person, but not at local office for which we were interviewing.
