I don't know if you can generalize, but I didn't get any brainteaser during my interviews at Bain ( and no guesstimates neither...). |

If you get any #&%@ brainteasers or guesstimates in a Bain interview, please report the interviewer to Recruiting. Brainteasers have no bearing on how well you'll do as a consultant. They're used by lazy interviewers who aren't really interested in quality recruiting. Bain's policy is to use a combination of fit and case interviewers; no brainteasers, no guesstimates unless in connection with a case.
The difference can sometimes be a bit slim: you won't be asked how many ping pong balls fit into a 747, but you might do a case and find that you need to figure out how much it costs to fly a 747 from Kennedy to Heathrow.
