I applied through university. I interviewed at Bain & Company (Philadelphia, PA) in Mar 2015
Interview
After applying through my university, I got an interview in my campus. There were 2 interviews. Each interview was 30 minutes, and included the 'tell me about yourself' and then a complete case. They were nice but the cases were quite hard

Question 1
My friend wants to open a fast-food restaurant in Downtown San Francisco. Is it a good idea?
Really smooth and clear. Was supported at every stage and felt like I could clearly demonstrate my skills. Found the casing harder than expected but behaviorals were genuinely interesting to answer.

Question 1
Imagine you are working on an M&A case and you meet a friend for dinner who works for that company and has just been fired. He reports huge issues that are non-public material information. What would you do?
I applied through university. The process took 7 weeks. I interviewed at Bain & Company in Mar 2026
Interview
Very Professional and Structured. Unique way of process with the behavioural and written case on top of the standard case. 2 round, total 5 interviews.
All the interviewers are really nice, genuinely want you to succeed.
MBA on-campus recruiting cycle. One super day of two cases and one behavioral. All done by partners. Countless coffee chats before actual interview day. Interview was in-person, but not at local office for which we were interviewing.
