J'ai postulé en ligne. J'ai passé un entretien chez Bain & Company (Londres, Angleterre)
Entretien
Overall process was pretty good, everyone was very welcoming and the interviewers were very friendly. There were 3 interviews running consecutively, each lasting 35-45 mins (interviewer different for each).
First was a behavioural interview, a 1:1 discussion with a Bain manager. There were 8 questions in total, 4 addressing your past experiences and 4 hypothetical questions on what you would do in certain situations working as a consultant at Bain.
Second was a market sizing case, pretty straight forward. Got asked to estimate the annual revenue of an outdoor swimming pool in the UK.
Third was a case study, more interviewer led than I expected. It was about deciding on the best cancer drug to invest in as an American pharmaceutical company. Had to be careful with wording at times as it involved cancer treatment length and the % of patients that die (and therefore stop buying our drug) but not too tricky to solve.

It was fine. The partner round interviews were less structured and much more difficult. Majority of my interviewers were really nice which made the process better than what I had anticipated.

Entretien
2 rounds of interviews, each round consisting of 3 interviews with cases. In the first round 2 case interviews and 1 with HR. In the 2nd round you have 3 interviews with more senior profiles like managers and partners.
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.
