Bain tests

Hi I applied for Bain & Company in Jan 2022. For 2 offices ME and Germany. 

I received 2 tests from different offices, which I have completed more than a month ago. Until today I have not received any feedback regarding my application, neither positive nor negative. 

 What is the usual time to receive feedback? Do you think it's time that I follow up with the recruitment teams?

Hi there,

Usually, such feedback should come within 2 weeks of taking the test. Now that it is over a month, I would definitely reach out to HR, ideally via phone, and ask about the status of your application.

All the best!

Hi there, 

it depends on the role you apply, experienced hires and off-organized recruiting waves candidates experienced much more irregular process and lengthy answer time. I would recommend to follow up and ask for estimated timeline. 

Good luck!

Hi there,

Did they tell you to do this? Was it as part of 2 separate applications?

I really hope you just mean that you submitted an application and told them you had 2 office preferences. Submitting 2 separate applications causes a fair few problems.

Given it has been a month I would definitely reach out. Send an email to (or call) both offices separately.
