I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Bain & Company (Istanbul) in Oct 2015
Interview
The interview was at an hotel, so didn't see much about the office. Had two consecutive interviews with consultants. They were both friendly and helpful. Before and after the interview I chat with the consultants which got me relaxed before interview.

Question 1
Your client is an alarm company, but they are having declining revenues. What can be a possible cause for this?
2 rounds, 1st round 2 small cases, not very difficult , market entry cases.

Three rounds of interviews, generally 2 rounds in person or remote with live consultants. Each round involves a 2-3 case interviews each, which generally also include a set of behavioural questions.
Drei Interviewrunden, je ein Interviewer: zwei englischsprachige Case Studies (Interviewer-geführt, strukturiert) sowie Personal Fit mit situativen Fragen ohne CV-Bezug - keine Angaben zu Praktika oder Uni gefragt. Stattdessen Reaktionsfragen à la „Wie würdest du in Situation XYZ reagieren?". Mit solider Vorbereitung nichts Unerwartetes. Alle Interviewer sehr freundlich und aufgeschlossen — angenehme, entspannte Atmosphäre throughout.
