Case Interview tips and examples from Bain & Co

A good case interview should be an enjoyable and thoughtful discussion of business issues and problem-solving techniques. We are not looking for a "right answer" or asking you to spit back memorized business terms, current events or well-known frameworks. Rather, we hope to see a good dose of problem-solving skills, creativity and common sense.
