Bain Capital Interview Process (AN)

Hey fellow monkeys -- 

Would anyone be able to comment on the Bain Capital interview process? I know its been touched on a lot in this forum, but I'm particularly curious about the case interviews?

Are these all general consulting cases (P&L, market sizing, entering a new market, etc) or, are they mainly focused on evaluating a specific company as an investment? 

Any tips to guide my prep would be much appreciated!

out of undergrad or experienced?

Did it out of undergrad for FT but wasn't super case heavy, still focused on investment but will look at drivers through more of a consulting lens. Don't remember all specifics but I remember they presented the company(licensing/broadcast company) and asked about how to size it, how I thought p&l would improve given some mandate management had proposed, etc. Not a full consulting case but I found it similarly interactive, where there was more information they would only give out if you were asking the right qs and they would guide you if you were on the wrong track
