I applied through university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Bain & Company (Chicago, IL) in Apr 2011
Interview
There were two 30 minute interviews. During the first, I was asked a business problem-solving question. The second was more of a character interview to see if I was a good fit for the company.

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Bain & Company in Mar 2023
Interview
- two back-to-back 30min interviews - market sizing questions that are very straightforward and they provide information when needed + a few follow ups relating to the situation - conversation at the end to get to know more about you

Question 1
Size the market for sliced bread in the U.S. Size the market for snack bars in the U.S. Why consulting? Why Bain? Tell me about yourself
Not stressful. Worked through two cases online. The questions were not too difficult and straightforward. Interviewers were friendly and helped steer the case problems in the right direction. Overall very positive experience.
very informal and conversational interviewers were helpful and nice very enjoyable experience overall
the case was challenging but the interviewers walked me through it I would recommend interviewing for this program the only downside is that you will not hear back until a month after the interviewer which could be extremely nerve racking.
