I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Bain & Company (Toronto) in Sept 2016
Interview
I am a third year business student from a Canadian University. Bain came on campus for their recruiting process.
I did my first round on campus- which consisted of two back-to-back 30 minute cases. It is very important to try to connect with the interviewers during this time as there is no time for behavioural questions.
I went through their second round process in their Toronto office. The second round was 2 45 minute case interviews and 1 45 minute behavioural interview.
Although I did not get the offer everyone I have met at Bain has been awesome and it seems like a great place to work
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.
