I applied through university. I interviewed at Bain & Company in Oct 2018
Interview
Fairly typical process for a target MBA program. Applied via campus recruiting and Bain website, then had two rounds of interviews. First round was on-campus with managers and was heavily case-based. The second round was at a Bain office and had two cases and one fit interview with partners. All of my interviewers were approachable and engaging during the cases. The fit portion was heavily focused on why Bain, why consulting.

Case interviews looking for qualitative and quantitative input
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.
