I applied through university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Bain & Company (Washington, DC) in Sept 2018
Interview
Final round interview in the DC office. 2 interviews and each last 40 min. 1 case for each interview and very few behavioral questions. Cases are about market sizing and analyzing strategies. Almost no behavioral questions, even no self introduction

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.
