I applied through other source. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Bain & Company (Chicago, IL) in Jan 2013
Interview
I interviewed off-campus for the Moscow office. First round: two back to back interviews with senior consultants. Both interviews were in English and exclusively case interviews with no fit or behavioral questions. First round cases with Bain are medium-to-high difficulty with abundance of charts. Thus try to be brief from the beginning as the saved time will be handy for getting insights from the charts. Be brief on charts as well.
Really smooth and clear. Was supported at every stage and felt like I could clearly demonstrate my skills. Found the casing harder than expected but behaviorals were genuinely interesting to answer.

Question 1
Imagine you are working on an M&A case and you meet a friend for dinner who works for that company and has just been fired. He reports huge issues that are non-public material information. What would you do?
I applied through university. The process took 7 weeks. I interviewed at Bain & Company in Mar 2026
Interview
Very Professional and Structured. Unique way of process with the behavioural and written case on top of the standard case. 2 round, total 5 interviews.
All the interviewers are really nice, genuinely want you to succeed.
MBA on-campus recruiting cycle. One super day of two cases and one behavioral. All done by partners. Countless coffee chats before actual interview day. Interview was in-person, but not at local office for which we were interviewing.
