      San Francisco, CA
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Bain & Company (San Francisco, CA) in Sep 2015

      Interview

      Applied online and interviewed on campus. First round was 2 x 30 minutes case interview. First interviewer was nice and case was easy. Second interviewer was demeaning and case was very complicated. Second interviewer was also not to the point and gave misleading hints. No behavioral questions cause time ran out doing case in both instances.

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Bain & Company (Zürich)

      Interview

      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.
