Hi,

Bain round 1 interviews are very similar across the globe:

  • 2 interviews per round
  • 1st round cases and processes are relatively easier than later rounds
  • Very simple fit (Tell me about yourself, Why consulting, Why Bain, Your questions)
  • Interviewee led cases
  • Most cases have printed charts / tables
  • Most cases have a final numeric answer you have to reach
  • Most common industries: CPG, retail, airlines, PE, banking

Best!
