Hi! 
it’s been a little over three weeks since I completed the SOVA test but I have not received any updates from BAIN yet. I tried emailing HR by the email I found on the website but I did not get a response. I am currently trying for the ACI position to start in January. 

- Does this mean I have not passed/got rejected? 
- in general how are the interview divided, would all the first round interviews be done on one day?

Hi there,

- Does this mean I have not passed/got rejected? This is more likely than unlikely, but not set in stop


- in general how are the interview divided, would all the first round interviews be done on one day?

In general they have 2 rounds, with each round having a case portion and a fit portion. In general, a given round is completed in a day (back-to-back interviews)

Most importantly, I would never hold my breath for any one firm - the odds are always higher that you won't get the job than that you will! Therefore, apply to LOTS of firms.

Hi there,

1) Does this mean I have not passed/got rejected? 

Not necessarily, they might have delays with their screening process due to upcoming holidays or uncertainty on their project pipeline.

2) In general how are the interview divided, would all the first round interviews be done on one day?

Usually first-round interviews are on the same day, but there are exceptions.

Good luck!

Hi,

if you desired start date was January, I think it is pretty clear that this is very unlikely to happen at this point. However, the recruiting process might happen in January, i.e. your potential interviews

  • no feedback does not mean automatic rejection - but of course the longer it takes for them to get back to a candidate, the “less important” that candidate is for them. There are cases where even after several weeks, candidates received a positive response - so there is always that
  • in general 2 rounds - each round happens on a different day. All interviews within one round happen on the same day. This might vary by region though (just a disclaimer)

Keep applying to other firms so you don't have your efforts stopped by any one company not replying to you for a while.

Good luck

Hi there!

It's normal for it to take a few weeks before they get back to you. 

At this point, since most offices are ramping down for the winter holidays, I would be expecting an answer by mid-Jan. 

It's rather ambitious to expect to have the interviews and start the role in the same month. Most of the time there are at least a few months in between, so I wouldn't rely on that happening. 

Best,
Cristian
