J'ai passé un entretien chez Bain & Company (Boston, MA)
Entretien
Standard process for MBB firms. I had a coffee chat with a partner prior to submitting my application which I believe got me into the first round. First round was two separate 30 minute case interviews with short behavioral portions at the beginning of each.

Drei Interviewrunden, je ein Interviewer: zwei englischsprachige Case Studies (Interviewer-geführt, strukturiert) sowie Personal Fit mit situativen Fragen ohne CV-Bezug - keine Angaben zu Praktika oder Uni gefragt. Stattdessen Reaktionsfragen à la „Wie würdest du in Situation XYZ reagieren?". Mit solider Vorbereitung nichts Unerwartetes. Alle Interviewer sehr freundlich und aufgeschlossen — angenehme, entspannte Atmosphäre throughout.
