Bain & Company Bain & Company What can I expect for a first round AC industry recruit interview with Bain (for NA)?

I’m on their website but it’s quite vague. I’m good on the case part but not sure what to expect for the behavioral part. It just said to know your CV and why it’s relevant for the role.

Would it just be the typical behavioral questions you see when you google that or would it be more conversational? I was also told by a current AC that it is just a case and no behavioral…can anyone confirm?
