I applied through university. I interviewed at Bain & Company (Washington, DC) in Jan 2023
Interview
Mix of case and behavioral questions. Case questions will be multi prompt and focus on a topic like profitability, growth strategy, or process improvement. Behavioral questions are as hoc and conversational.

Question 1
Why are you interested in Bain specifically, as opposed to other consulting firms?
Ghosted by HR for Malaysia office after interviewing 3 rounds. Interviewed by associate, senior associate and partner. Typical consulting case questions. Not too difficult and employees were relatively personable. Would've appreciated better communication from the HR team instead of simple ghosting. do better
I applied online and got a online assessment after ~1 week. I completed the online test but I haven't heard back since then. The timeline is a bit uncertain to me.
First round case interviews. Got standard questions about profitability and market entry. IMO the most difficult part was reading complex charts and distilling the key insights with time pressure. There was little behavioral.
