I applied through university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Bain & Company (Madrid)
Interview
Typical consulting interview: resume review, business case and time for questions (1/3 each), Two rounds with two interviews each: first round with Manager level, second round with Principal or Partners. Before that, I had to take a test, which had a format similar to GMAT tests.

Question 1
Business case, it will change from interview to interview
2 rounds of interviews, each round consisting of 3 interviews with cases. In the first round 2 case interviews and 1 with HR. In the 2nd round you have 3 interviews with more senior profiles like managers and partners.
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.
