I interviewed at Bain & Company (Shanghai, Shanghai)
Interview
The interview process consists of 2 rounds of case interviews. There are two 30 mins written case back to back in the first round while the second round has only one written case but lasts for 90 mins (including a 5 mins quick check on motivations).
There was a resume and online assessment. I was then invited to Round One which consisted of two cases. Round Two followed about a week later and also had 2 cases. Round One and Round Two were both virtual rounds.
2 rounds of interviews primarily focused on case, with some behavioral questions second round. Each interview consists of two interviewers who will interview separately with different cases. Interviews last 30-45 minutes.
