I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Bain & Company (Moscow, Moskva) in Oct 2010
Interview
The first-round interview was held in Boston with one manager from a US office and a consultant from the Moscow office. Both started from a resume walk and had one case each.
The second-round interview was also held in Boston, with one manager from EU, a senior manager from Moscow and a partner from Moscow.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Estimate the size of the rental real estate market in Austria, Vienna
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.
2 rounds of 3 interviews.
The first round includes a fit interview.
All interviews feel very relaxed, but they still expect you to move through the case fast and in a structured way.
