I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Bain & Company (Ciudad de Mexico) in Feb 2014
Interview
There are 4 stages in the recruitment process:
1) Submit your CV/CL online: keep in mind that there are only 2 recruitment cycles in which all applicants are assesed
2) GMAT like exam: you have to go to the office and take an exam of ~25 quantitative questions similar to a GMAT test
3) 1st Round of interviews: reviewers will take into consideration the CV/CL/Test results and selected applicants will be invited to a 1st round interview (2 consultants interview you).
4) 2nd Round of Interviews: applicants who pass the 1st round are invited to the 2nd round (2 partners or 2 principals interview you).
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Consulting case questions (1 or 2 cases per interviewer)
Interviewers were really nice, but the process was difficult. Standard level cases and they expected you to take them through multiple business problems. If you practice casing frequently with multiple partners, you should be fine.

Question 1
Please walk me through how you would approach this case.
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.
