Bain & Company About to interview with Bain. Heard there are multiple 45 min senior level (AP/Partner) interviews at the end. Could someone help me understand if these include behavioral? If so, what type of behavioral questions should I be preparing for?

If this is America's, what you will likely experience is 1 full behavioral session and 2 full case sessions (thr latter do not have ANY behavioral component).

Bain tries to minimize unconscious bias by keeping the case portions strictly about the case. The people giving you a case will not even have seen your resume, to my knowledge.

For behavioral, you should just prep for the standard questions but be ready to talk about any experiences. It could be a pretty free flowing conversation based off something on your resume, for instance.

This is actually similar to the process in Europe

From my experience last year, you’ll be asked behavioral questions in both those interviews. The structure of these interviews was fluid - one with behavioral preceding the case and another with behavioral straddling it.

The questions seemed pretty general - resume walkthrough, why consulting and Bain, one interesting fact not in resume etc. Best to prepare answers to general HR questions you find on google besides the resume ofc.
