I applied through college or university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Bain & Company
Interview
I had 3 round of interviews. The first round was composed of two 1:1 with Associate Consultants, the second one of two 1:1 with Principals and the last one of a face meeting with a partner. Do the math, 5 interviews in total.
Every interview begins with a personal discussion about the candidate's motivation, background and achievements. It usually starts from a basic resume question and the interviewer then picks out a focus point that he wants to discuss.
The second part is always a case question. Most of the time, it is a concise version of an actual situtation that the interviewer worked on.
At the end of each round, I was provided with extensive feedback on my performance and given some advide on how I could improve. The partner case is designed at testing that the candidate took into account the feedback he received from the beginning, and therefore focuses on the flaws of its previous interviews.

Question 1
What do you think is the biggest challenge for a consultant? How would you personnally cope with that?
i had an interview with Bain after completing my online assessment. They gave me 4 days to prepare for the two case and 1 behavioral interviews in the first round. Is this normal?
Typical consulting cases with 5 minutes of behavioral in the beginning. Two separate interviewers for the first round; math questions were not hard and mostly focused on market sizing. Good luck!
case studies and guesstimates followed up by resume questions. first it started with an aptitude test which was hard and then the short listing for interviews. we had 2 interviews per person
