I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Bain & Company (Moscow, Moskva) in May 2012
Interview
3 rounds of cases. Cases are similar to those in MBA case books. Had 2 operational cases and the strategic one. Quick simple math is a must have. 3rd round more focused on your targets, values, expectations etc.

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.
