The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Bain & Company in Oct 2008
Interview
I applied for this position through my university career center. The first round consisted of 2 interviews on campus. Each was 30 minutes and covered information on my resume and a short case study. They notified me about the 2nd/final round within two weeks. This interview took place at their office, and was another 2 case interviews.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
You are a manager of a gym and recently found out that a neighboring office space has just become vacant. You are thinking of renting this as a day care center for gym members. Explain how you would make your decision.
Drei Interviewrunden, je ein Interviewer: zwei englischsprachige Case Studies (Interviewer-geführt, strukturiert) sowie Personal Fit mit situativen Fragen ohne CV-Bezug - keine Angaben zu Praktika oder Uni gefragt. Stattdessen Reaktionsfragen à la „Wie würdest du in Situation XYZ reagieren?". Mit solider Vorbereitung nichts Unerwartetes. Alle Interviewer sehr freundlich und aufgeschlossen — angenehme, entspannte Atmosphäre throughout.
2 rounds of 3 interviews.
The first round includes a fit interview.
All interviews feel very relaxed, but they still expect you to move through the case fast and in a structured way.
