Interviewed by two associates. They asked personal questions and then a market share question. I was caught of guard when switching between the two. There was something slightly off about them, seemed nice but dismissive

Size the market for sliced bread in the U.S. Size the market for snack bars in the U.S. Why consulting? Why Bain? Tell me about yourself
Not stressful. Worked through two cases online. The questions were not too difficult and straightforward. Interviewers were friendly and helped steer the case problems in the right direction. Overall very positive experience.
very informal and conversational interviewers were helpful and nice very enjoyable experience overall
the case was challenging but the interviewers walked me through it I would recommend interviewing for this program the only downside is that you will not hear back until a month after the interviewer which could be extremely nerve racking.
