Bain & Company Hello everyone, I have been in consulting for 3 years. I have a few questions about MBB.

1. Is right now a bad time to apply or join considering the economy and lay offs?
2. What is the usual interview process? How many rounds? How many cases (group vs individual)
3. How intense is the Up or Out culture at MBB?
