I applied through college or university. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at SLB in Feb 2011
Interview
The recruiting process in SBC in Mexico is quite long (4 months aprox).
Firstable you are asked to send a letter and CV, later on you are asked to make a 30 mins online test (gmat type).
For the next step you are invited to have two case interviews with two consultants in a hotel.
If you reach the next step, you will be asked to prepare a case presentation in front of the VP's and a pair of consultants (again in a hotel), that day you are asked to interact with the other presenters. It seems they want you to show how you answer to questions about the way you solve the case and to notice if you are the kind of guys who get along with the team or if criticize others work.
The next step consists on three case and personality interviews (1:1) with a project manager and the two VP's.
If you overcome this step finally you are in.
Advices:
As an advise,when talking with the people who were interviewed the presentation day we agreed one of the VP's is very presumptuous and sometimes offensive. For the rest of sbc interviewers they were in general nice people.

The interview began with me introducing myself, followed by a brief discussion about my family background. The interviewer then moved on to my resume, asking questions related to my academic work, projects, and skills. We concluded the session with me asking them a question in return.
