Hi,
McKinsey:
- 1st round mostly interviewer led, 2nd mostly interviewee led
- Lots of non-conventional cases: non-profits, operational improvements, market sizings as a standalone case
- Fit is super important. They will ask you to provide another story if they don't like what you are saying
Bain
- Hardest cases, most of which have a particular numeric answer
- Classic industries + lot's of M&A and synergies cases. Marketsizing very often a part of the case
- Lot's of the cases with printed handouts to analyze
- Fit is the least important of the MBB companies. They will just ask a story about yourself, why consulting, why Bain, your questions to them
BCG
- Somewhere in the middle between Bain and McKinsey. The cases are pretty standard. The fit interview part includes stories by the interviewers are less demanding than at McK
