I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Bain & Company (Paris)
Interview
Screening+ test anglais+ 2 entretiens avec deux partners. Les deux partners était très humain et ce qui m'a vraiment plus c'est que quand j'ai eu la réponse négative de la RH, j'ai contacté un des deux partners qui a pris 30 min pour m'expliquer et m'encourager pour la prochaine fois.
