I applied through college or university. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Bain & Company (Washington, DC) in Oct 2012
Interview
several verbal case interviews, one per person that you met with, with a written case at the end. other consultants would reach out to help you prep cases, but the actual interviewers were partners. very thorough --even the head of the office would be involved in interviewing.
Ghosted by HR for Malaysia office after interviewing 3 rounds. Interviewed by associate, senior associate and partner. Typical consulting case questions. Not too difficult and employees were relatively personable. Would've appreciated better communication from the HR team instead of simple ghosting. do better
I applied online and got a online assessment after ~1 week. I completed the online test but I haven't heard back since then. The timeline is a bit uncertain to me.
First round case interviews. Got standard questions about profitability and market entry. IMO the most difficult part was reading complex charts and distilling the key insights with time pressure. There was little behavioral.
