I applied through university. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Bain & Company (Boston, MA) in Aug 2016
Interview
Two rounds of interviews:
First round on campus, two 30-minute case interviews with a tiny bit of fit questions.
Second round at Bain & Co. in Boston, two 45-minute case interviews with more fit questions.
All interviewers were extremely friendly and easygoing. All cases were fairly straightforward, but second round was more interviewee-led than first round.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
A mid-tier department store is considering launching an online high-end menswear store. What factors should they consider?
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.
