Candidate-reported interview process
I talked with the lead executive assistant who supports one of the founding members. She introduced herself and we chatted about my background, skills, and style, and she also told me a lot about Bain's culture and the working styles of the executives this role supports.
I was contacted by a recruiter, then I had an interview with the EA Admin lead, followed by an interview with the Business Unit EA Team Lead. After that, I met with the Executive. A few days later, I met the Executive again and we really connected. I received an offer within a couple of days.
The second interview was scheduled about a month after the first one. So basically the timing depends on when they find the person that fits.
