I applied through other source. I interviewed at Bain & Company (Johannesburg) in Mar 2023
Interview
There were 4 rounds in the interview process. Each one of them start with a "fit" interview to see if one can fit into the existing company culture and the second part will be the cracking the case part of the interview in each round

Question 1
Why do you want to venture into management consulting?
2 rounds of interviews primarily focused on case, with some behavioral questions second round. Each interview consists of two interviewers who will interview separately with different cases. Interviews last 30-45 minutes.

Question 1
If you had a offer from Bain, BCG, and McKinsey tomorrow, which would you pick and why?
two rounds of case interviews, candidate-led, tackling a real client problem through a structured, hypothesis-driven framework. need to balance analytical rigor with a collaborative, team-oriented approach, focusing on delivering clear, actionable, and insightful recommendations
It was a straightforward process with two 30-minute interviews. It started with introductions and then the cases; you can have some time at the end for questions. The interviewers are helpful so you can ask clarifying questions.
