What Bain & Company is grading
candidate-led with collaborative interviewer. Every dimension below has its own module: the full 1-5 rubric, how to prepare, and a quick drill where you rate a sample answer yourself. After that, an offer simulator lets you plug in scores and see exactly how Bain & Company's hard floors and disqualifiers actually decide an outcome.
