Ho presentato la mia candidatura tramite un'agenzia di reclutamento personale. La procedura ha richiesto un giorno. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Bain Capital (Londra, Inghilterra) nel mese di apr 2011
Colloquio
Initial contact made via headhunter, followed by discussion and agreement for application. On the day there were two interviews with VPs, half case study based half personal experience. Focus of the case studies was business problems at current portfolio companies, how to structure and execute business transformation. The interviewrs appeard to use a 4 point scoring mechanism, but not very transparent on how it was applied.
Overall, a very professional experience, the interviewers are both ex strategy consultants and apply a similar selection process as for entry positions into consulting. Very good and insightful discussion based on the case, more advanced to what an entry into a top tier consulting firm would require.
The company headquarters are high class, but it seemed not very busy.
The feedback mechanism was via the headhunter and also direct feedback and advice was given. If successful a second round with directors during a full day meeting would follow.
Advice would be to review case studies ahead of time, I was a bit out of practice sitting on the other side of the table most of the time. Also, good to think through the value drivers for private equity companies.

Two interviews before an excel case study. The first interview was with HR, and the second with the hiring manager. The excel case study lasted two hours and was fairly industry-specific.

Colloquio
Market entry case and one super abstract case - but overall to be expected. pleasant experience and had two rounds of interviews. first round online second round in person. I didn't justify well enough each step which was the reason I didn't pass to the final round, and the feedback was fair.

Colloquio
I had two interviews with HR and a meeting with one of the VPs on the team. HR interviews were very general and they were focussed on experience. Interview with team member was good general discussion about the space, why I'm interested and some general questions testing my knowledge of the firm and space. Next step would have been super day with a couple of case studies but I was not asked to go to next round.
