Bain & Company case interview practice
Bain, in the room.
7 Bain & Company-style technology cases, each run live against an AI interviewer prompted with Bain & Company's own register, then scored 0–100 on structure, business acumen, quantitative reasoning and communication. Your first case is free.
Start your free caseHow Bain & Company runs a case interview
Results-obsessed. Plain speech. Net Promoter, true-north metric, value creation plan. Pushes hard on 'so what does the CEO do Monday morning'. Allergic to abstraction.
That is the register the interviewer holds for every case on this page: it asks one question at a time, pushes back when you hand-wave, will not summarise your answer for you, and closes with a partner-style scored evaluation that names the strong signals it heard and the red flags it did not.
What is in the bank
7 cases — 1 beginner, 2 intermediate, 2 advanced, 2 medium. Typical length 25-35 min or 20-30 min or 35-45 min. Topics: Strategy, Tech Consulting, Food and beverage, Public sector, Travel and tourism, Financial Services / Risk Management, Technology / E-Commerce.
Cases are written in each firm's style, written and reviewed by working consultants; they are not the firms' own published cases.

Common questions
- Are these real Bain cases?
- No. Cases are written in Bain's style by working consultants; they are not Bain's own published cases. Where a case adapts a public sample, the case page cites the source.
- Can I practice a Bain technology case for free?
- Yes. The first case runs free with no signup or card. Paid plans are one-time payments for 30 days of access to the full case bank and scored reports.
- How is a Bain technology case different from a strategy case?
- The answer still has to move a P&L. Bain-style tech cases add software diligence, AI strategy, and tech-enabled operating-model change — what gets built, what gets bought, and what value shows up in year one.
