I applied through university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Bain & Company (Ciudad de Mexico) in Feb 2016
Interview
I applied through campus application. The process took around one month. First a written test submit your CV and cover letter. Then you are invited for a first round of interviews and then a second round. Both rounds have two interviews but they are not structured at all. They just make up some case and ask for your advice, but when you ask for data they don´t provide it to you or you can see they are inventing it. Also, two interviewers were really rude, non interested and a bit cooky
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why consulting? Why bain? investing and market sizing cases
2 rounds, 1st round 2 small cases, not very difficult , market entry cases.
2nd long case with a deck to read and prepare answers..45 mins to read, 15 mins to answer
Three rounds of interviews, generally 2 rounds in person or remote with live consultants. Each round involves a 2-3 case interviews each, which generally also include a set of behavioural questions.
Drei Interviewrunden, je ein Interviewer: zwei englischsprachige Case Studies (Interviewer-geführt, strukturiert) sowie Personal Fit mit situativen Fragen ohne CV-Bezug - keine Angaben zu Praktika oder Uni gefragt. Stattdessen Reaktionsfragen à la „Wie würdest du in Situation XYZ reagieren?". Mit solider Vorbereitung nichts Unerwartetes. Alle Interviewer sehr freundlich und aufgeschlossen — angenehme, entspannte Atmosphäre throughout.
