J'ai postulé via un établissement d'enseignement supérieur ou universitaire. Le processus a pris 2 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Bain & Company (Boston, MA) en oct. 2008
Entretien
As of 2010, getting an interview for an associate consultant position was only possible if you are a student at one of the on-campus recruited schools (for Boston: Ivies, Williams, Amherst). First round is on-campus, two 30-minute interviews, both case format. ~10% get callbacks to the office. Again, two interviews in the case format. These are longer, 45 minutes each, and with partners and managers while the first round are SACs and consultants.
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
Almost entirely case interview format, no really difficult questions beyond the case. Very standard interview questions otherwise.
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.

Entretien
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.
