Bain & Consultant interview experience

What made it more intense than it sounded was the online assessment that came with it: it was tougher than expected because there was a lot to answer in just thirty minutes.

The video part itself didn’t feel like it had curveballs. It was the kind of conversation where you need to be clear and genuine about motivation, then move smoothly through the next question. The assessment, though, threw me off with time pressure relative to the volume of prompts. I didn’t get the offer afterward, and I remember feeling that the clock mattered more than I’d planned for.
