I applied online. I interviewed at Bain & Company in Feb 2016
Interview
Very sympathetic JA, light atmosphere. It was in the Brussel office, they asked my about me, my experience, my studies, left time at the end for questions. Most importantly, the two interviews were done by different people, so the fit question were similar except for this one: instead of the traditional "tell me about yourself", he asked me "suppose you are in a bar, what do you tell about you?"
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Basic profitability case with a few graphic. They do not care whether you finish the case as long as you give pertinent answers
3 rounds in one day: 2 cases, 1 behavioral interview. ALL are CV blind. No mentioning of university, or names of employers. You also shouldn't mention what you study, or essentially anything. You get the call in the same day.
il processo si svolge in un giorno e il primo step è l'interview con l'hr che è principalmente attitudinale, poi si ha un colloquio di market sizing e uno riguardante un business case. quest'ultimi entrambi con manager o partner
The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Bain & Company (Washington, DC) in Sept 2025
Interview
It was good and great. Good interview, kinda hard. It was a case interview, it was 2 cases with two different people. It took me 30 min for each. So one hour in total
