I applied through university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Bain & Company (Ciudad de Mexico) in Sept 2017
Interview
The first filter was a GMAT test with some extra chart related questions similar to the ones on McKinsey's PST. Please note that wrong answers do take points, so don't guess the answers.
After that I was invited to the first round of interviews. This round consisted on two back-to-back interviews.
The questions there did not involve a deep analysis of the problem of the "client". One interviewer was super cool, but the first one was really in a bad mood and just wanted me to perform the calculations she had on her mind.
I recieved no feedback even after asking multiple times for it.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Our client is a bank. They have experienced a lower growth on the last couple of years. How can the increase EBITDA?
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.
