J'ai postulé via un établissement d'enseignement supérieur ou universitaire. Le processus a pris plus d'une semaine. J'ai passé un entretien chez Bain & Company (Toronto, ON) en janv. 2015
Entretien
Applied through university career management portal. Selected for first round interview on campus along with 16 other candidates.
First round consisted of two interviews - each interview 30 minutes in length. Both consisted of 5 minutes of small talk and 25 minutes of case interview. First case concerned market-sizing and second case concerned marketing strategy optimization for a consumer packaged goods company.
Final round offers extended to 8 candidates at Toronto office. Friday night consisted of dinner with three consultants and a recruiter from the office and Saturday afternoon consisted of three interviews, each thirty minutes in length. First two interviews were case based - first case concerned branch profitability issue of large European painting company and second case concerned cost of good increase for plastics producer. Last interview was behavioural/fit-based.
Offer extended Saturday evening, a few hours after final rounds ended.

Question 1
Why Bain?
Tell me about a leadership experience you are most proud of?
Several more questions but I can't recall them.
2 cases for R1. Pretty straightforward cases about revenue optimization opportunities. There was a little bit of market sizing but all data needed was given. No behaviorals asked in round 1 for me.
