J'ai postulé via la recommandation d'un employé. Le processus a pris 2 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Bain & Company (Londres, Angleterre) en sept. 2011
Entretien
After a referral, I was invited for 2-stage interview in the first round. 1st stage was a simple market sizing as well as discussing CV. 2nd stage was a case study that was simplistic enough but still required thought and structure.
For the final round, there are 3 stages. First stage was a case study but a lot tougher (should have been more structured) as well as the second stage. I had the exception of having a market sizing in my second stage. Final stage is a written-case study where you are given a lot of materials (slides, graphs, clippings) with 35 minutes to review and fill in a set of blank slides that are provided. You are then to talk it through a consultant who will listen to what you have to say.
I failed to be "more" structured and not creative enough and as a result, not offered a position. Amazing experience and it was my first - which was a shame because I know with more practise, it gets easier.
Three rounds of interviews, generally 2 rounds in person or remote with live consultants. Each round involves a 2-3 case interviews each, which generally also include a set of behavioural questions.

Entretien
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.

2 rounds of 3 interviews.
The first round includes a fit interview.
All interviews feel very relaxed, but they still expect you to move through the case fast and in a structured way.
