I applied through university. I interviewed at Bain & Company in Nov 2016
Interview
The interview process was quite straight forward. The recruiting team is incredibly kind and helpful, and willing to work with candidates before their interview with help scheduling, etc. I was studying abroad, so the first round was by phone and the second round was by skype. All 4 interviews were very focused on the case and while I definitely chatted with the interviewers about their experiences at Bain, the only "fit" question I got asked was "Why Bain?"
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.
