Bain & Consultant interview experience

That said, the partner round interviews were less structured than earlier stages, and they were much more difficult.

I remember noticing that the partners didn’t always follow a tight script, which made it harder to predict how the conversation would flow. Even with the increased difficulty, the fact that most interviewers were kind made the process feel better than I’d anticipated. The partner stage was the part that tested me most, and it left me reflecting on how much structure I had relied on in earlier rounds.
