I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Bain & Company (San Francisco, CA) in Oct 2016
Interview
My final round interview was in the office with a senior associate consultant, a manager, and a partner. They were each ~45 minutes in length, with ~30 minutes used for the cases.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
A rail company is considering opening a new passenger car route between Las Vegas and San Fransisco. What should they think about, and what would you recommend?
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.
