I applied online. I interviewed at Bain & Company (Dallas, TX) in Sep 2020
Interview
I wouldn't really call this a process. I applied through an online portal and received an email to outline the specifics of the role and to schedule a phone interview. The phone interview lasted for 30 minutes and was inclusive of the basic "get to know you" questions.
Sadly, that is where the "process" started and finished. After the recruiter outlined next steps, I never heard from the recruiter again. Not even a reply to my "thank you" follow up email.
I understand Bain is a powerhouse and leader in workplace happiness. However, they absolutely lack basic courtesies toward prospective job seekers.

Proceso ligeramente tardado, pero vale 100% la pena. Pasas múltiples filtros a lo largo de 2 o 3 meses, la última es presencial en Arcos Bosques.
En caso de aceptar oferta te dan un periodo de adaptación
The interview process consisted of several stages.
First, there was a short screening call with a recruiter, where we discussed my background, motivation, and basic fit for the role.
The final stage was a longer interview with several hiring managers. It included questions about my previous experience, organizational and communication skills, as well as behavioral questions. Part of the interview was conducted in German to assess language proficiency.
Overall, the process was well-structured, professional, and focused on both motivation and practical skills.
