I applied through college or university. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Bain & Company (New York, NY) in Oct 2015
Interview
I went through the recruiting cycle within my MBA program. The interview process consisted of a first round and a second round interview. The first round interview had two case interviews, with a behavioral component, and the second round interview comprised of a written case. For the written case, I was given 60minutes to review a slide deck (approximately 25-30 slides) and to then present my recommendations to two partners at the firm. My presentation was followed by a Q&A session from the partners.

Question 1
During the written case, they pushed me to find more precise numbers for my calculation, and I had to re-do my calculation in front of them.
Ghosted by HR for Malaysia office after interviewing 3 rounds. Interviewed by associate, senior associate and partner. Typical consulting case questions. Not too difficult and employees were relatively personable. Would've appreciated better communication from the HR team instead of simple ghosting. do better
I applied online and got a online assessment after ~1 week. I completed the online test but I haven't heard back since then. The timeline is a bit uncertain to me.
First round case interviews. Got standard questions about profitability and market entry. IMO the most difficult part was reading complex charts and distilling the key insights with time pressure. There was little behavioral.
