I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Bain & Company (Brussels) in Sep 2013
Interview
Invited for the first round of the interview. Small personal part and then 2 case studies by 2 different people. One in English and one in my native language. An estimation case was involved in one of the case studies. It is important to first reconsider all options and think about it before you start calculating flat out. This is what I did, it did not turn out well.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Explain why you are a fit for this position in the consulting.
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.

Question 1
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.
