Please describe the interview / hiring process.
I had previously interviewed with them for a summer AC position. A year later, I re-applied for a FT position. Due to bureaucratic issues, my application wasn't received by the office I had applied to. However, after a few emails, the issues was resolved and I got invited to a first round. Both interviews were extremely different from my previous experience - where I had reached the last round. This time, the two interviewers did not seem to care. The content was in line with what you would expected from an MBB interview. Know your structures but think out of the box and you'll be fine.

Feedback took a bit longer than usual and wasn't really convincing. The whole experience left a bitter taste, especially compared to the great one I had a year before. Seems like Bain has changed its format; unfortunately, it's not for the best...
