Average Interview
Application

I applied online. I interviewed at Bain & Company (Riyadh) in Jan 2024

Interview

First round consisted of 3 interviews, one behavioral, one market sizing case, and one regular case. 2nd round was two regular case interviews with partners, overall they weren't difficult but you need to be quick on your market sizing case and they denied rounding of any numbers so do keep that in mind.

Interview questions
  • tell me about a disagreement you had with someone in a previous project and how did you get your way? (this was tricky)
