I applied through university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Bain & Company (New York, NY) in Jan 2010
Interview
There were 2 back to back case interviews, both are 30mins long. The first was regarding starting a milking operation in a small city and the second was a private equity acquisition evaluation.
The interviewers were very nice but because of limited time, there were no personal questions. They give you lots of hints on how to progress and often remind you when you make a mistake (but its best that you don't make any)
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How do you think we should proceed on evaluating a potential acquisition target?
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
Assesments sur TestGorilla (32 minutes). 2 rounds de 2 interviews. Premier round avec des associates ou bien des serniors. 2ème rounds avec des seniors et des partners. Interviws avec une partie fit et une partie Case.
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.
