I applied through university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Bain & Company (New York, NY) in Oct 2018
Interview
2 weeks, recruited through college, apply with cover letter and resume for first round; first round is on-campus two back-to-back 30 min cases; second round is in their office in NYC again two back-to-back 45 minutes (with a bit more behavioral)--got waitlisted after final round

Question 1
Final round: Market size and strategize for an eyeglass company who wants to enter the contacts lense market.
2 rounds of interviews, each round consisting of 3 interviews with cases. In the first round 2 case interviews and 1 with HR. In the 2nd round you have 3 interviews with more senior profiles like managers and partners.
Interviewers were really nice, but the process was difficult. Standard level cases and they expected you to take them through multiple business problems. If you practice casing frequently with multiple partners, you should be fine.

Question 1
Please walk me through how you would approach this case.
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.
