I applied through university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Bain & Company (Princeton, NJ) in Apr 2014
Interview
This was on campus recruiting at an Ivy League University. Consulting wasn't the right field for me at the time, but I had wanted to see what it was about. The process was well organized and orchestrated, with helpful feedback from the interviewer an the conclusion of the case study.
2 cases for R1. Pretty straightforward cases about revenue optimization opportunities. There was a little bit of market sizing but all data needed was given. No behaviorals asked in round 1 for me.
