Nothing unexpected. If you've cased before you'll be fine.
I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Bain & Company (San Francisco, CA) in Sept 2025
Interview
I applied in early to mid July 2025 and received the invitation to the first round interview in mid September. The process was two rounds. The first round was a 1-hour interview with two back to back 30 minute case interviews. The second round was a longer 2 hour interview with a mix of behavorials as well as harder case studies. I got denied after the first round.

Question 1
They gave me two case studies. One was a basic profitability case and the other was a market entry case.
The set up was two case interviews, no behavioral component. They did not ask any personal questions and the cases were back to back. Mine was virtual and over zoom.
There are 2 Rounds of interviews:
1 Round: 2* 40-minute case interview with an associate consultant
2 Round: 3 case interviews with one focusing more on fit/behavioral interview with partners or managing directors

Question 1
Case interviews are more about profitability and market-entry and market sizing
