I applied through college or university. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Bain & Company
Interview
Bain is great at their recruiting and always send some of their top staff to my college for their events. It is obvious that they know what they are doing and I believe they usually are able to take most of the top candidates from their competitors due to the company culture that they promote.
After applying online I was invited for a first round interview which consisted of two 30 minute case interviews that were difficult but not impossible. There were very few questions about my resume or cover letter. At the end they always ask if you have questions so come with some prepared.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
One case I had involved analyzing the practicality of a business that runs t-shirt vending machines at airports across the country. It involved a lot of math and calculations to determine the solution.
Really smooth and clear. Was supported at every stage and felt like I could clearly demonstrate my skills. Found the casing harder than expected but behaviorals were genuinely interesting to answer.

Imagine you are working on an M&A case and you meet a friend for dinner who works for that company and has just been fired. He reports huge issues that are non-public material information. What would you do?
I applied through college or university. The process took 7 weeks. I interviewed at Bain & Company in Mar 2026
Interview
Very Professional and Structured. Unique way of process with the behavioural and written case on top of the standard case. 2 round, total 5 interviews.
All the interviewers are really nice, genuinely want you to succeed.
MBA on-campus recruiting cycle. One super day of two cases and one behavioral. All done by partners. Countless coffee chats before actual interview day. Interview was in-person, but not at local office for which we were interviewing.
