I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Bain & Company (Amsterdam) in Oct 2023
Interview
First case was exactly what was expected, second one was very abstract and rwally hard to lead since every part of the framework got shut down - however the math was certainly doable. The feedback was given same day and was comprehensive so super helpful, overall a pleasant experience but didn't think I had come in as prepared as I wanted to be.

Question 1
Went through a typical market entry case with not crazy hard math - some creativity required including divesting certain product lines, and the second interview was completely no guidance.
2 rounds of interviews, each round consisting of 3 interviews with cases. In the first round 2 case interviews and 1 with HR. In the 2nd round you have 3 interviews with more senior profiles like managers and partners.
Interviewers were really nice, but the process was difficult. Standard level cases and they expected you to take them through multiple business problems. If you practice casing frequently with multiple partners, you should be fine.

Question 1
Please walk me through how you would approach this case.
2 cases for R1. Pretty straightforward cases about revenue optimization opportunities. There was a little bit of market sizing but all data needed was given. No behaviorals asked in round 1 for me.

What office did you choose and why? Do you have competing offers?
