I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Bain & Company in Sep 2020
Interview
Very friendly interviewers. Assigned people from the company to practice case studies with you before both rounds. Interviewers very conscious of the fact that I was in a different country (with different time zone) and accommodated that very well. Gave great and very helpful feedback.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
A very typical case study revolving around a laundry company's decision to technologically upgrade their laundromats
The interview process was straightforward, two cases interviews in both the first and second rounds. No behavioral questions but you can ask them questions at the end. The only question they ask other than the cases is why office.
First round consist of 2 cases, both had lots of math and interviewers only do the case with the applicant. Also, need to make sure your framework and math are all correct since it’s minimal time.
2 days, 4 interviews total. first day was 2 30 minute and second day was 2 45 minute with higher level employees. All were cases, some more formal than others
