Interview preparation

All candidates are stronglyencouraged to prepare for our

interview process

44

• Your Bain interview is an opportunity for us to learn more about you

-Your career goals, your skills, your strengths and talents, your passions, as wellas areas where you'd like to grow and develop

• It's also an opportunity for you to learn more about us

-What kind of work we do, what our people are like, and how our overall firmfunctions

• We are eager to identify great talent to join us, and we want you tosucceed

• Bain uses a combination of case interviews and experienceinterviews in our candidate selection process

-You may have interviews dedicated to either a case or your experience, or you

may have interviews that combine both case and experience together in the sameinterview




What is a case interview?

• The case interview is an example of a real business problem typicalof the kind our case teams work to resolve every day. For this reason, ourinterviewers prepare their interviews based on real cases and tend not torely on brainteasers or theoretical problems. Cases involve qualitativeand quantitative questions as well as real-world business situations.We do not strive to test you on business terms and expressions, currentevents, or strategic "frameworks.”

• Instead, we evaluate you based on your ability to think about andstructure an approach to solving a business problem, not on whetheryou get the "right" answer. A good case interview should be fun andthought provoking.

• The case interview is only one dimension of the recruiting process, but it istypically the part that raises the most anxiety. We hope the information inthis section will help you to prepare for the experience so that you can beconfident and enjoy the interview.

44




Interview tips

• Don't panic if your case is based on anunfamiliar industry. We're interested inhow you analyze the problem, notyour specific business knowledge.

• We encourage you to ask clarifyingquestions.

• Approach the problem in a structuredmanner and then continue to referback to that structure to logically workthrough the case.

• Develop an early hypothesis and thenrefine/prove it throughout the interview

• Don't get thrown off track by follow-upquestions. Your interviewer is yourally and uses questions to get a betterunderstanding of your thought process,not to stump you.

• Always include a finalrecommendation to the question athand — the best recommendations arepractical and actionable

• There is no one "right" answer. Case

interviews should be thoughtfuldialogues about potentialapproaches to solving a tough businessproblem.

“You want your case interview to be

a conversation and discussion withyour interviewer...”

“...be yourself and be as interactive

as possible-it’s important to have funeven in an interview!”

Relax and have fun!
