I interviewed at Bain & Company (San Francisco, CA) in Aug 2024
Interview
Straightforward. Two rounds of two interviews each. Second round cases a bit more complex and ambiguous. Overall, case topics were straightforward, but I heard others got bit weirder topics than me

Question 1
Are you interviewing for any other companies? Any other types of roles (ex. SWE)?
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.

Question 1
If you had a offer from Bain, BCG, and McKinsey tomorrow, which would you pick and why?
two rounds of case interviews, candidate-led, tackling a real client problem through a structured, hypothesis-driven framework. need to balance analytical rigor with a collaborative, team-oriented approach, focusing on delivering clear, actionable, and insightful recommendations
It was a straightforward process with two 30-minute interviews. It started with introductions and then the cases; you can have some time at the end for questions. The interviewers are helpful so you can ask clarifying questions.
