I applied through university. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Bain & Company (Mannheim) in Mar 2023
Interview
Two case interviews, and one personal fit interview. Case interviews were very interesting and interviewee-led, based on actual past projects the consultants worked on. THe personal fit interview was very rough.

Question 1
Time you worked in a Team Time you showed leadership Time you communicated well Why Bain ==>The interviewer really dug into what you said and used what you told her to ask more questions, so be careful of what you say
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.

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.
