I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at McKinsey & Company in Jul 2010
Interview
2 days of interviews. Day 1: PST (tricky!), then 2 cases. Day 2: 3 cases, including partner interview.
Each interview also had a fit section.
McKinsey was very helpful throughout the process - actually made me think that they want you to succeed. Had a pre-interview call to discuss how to prepare, and all the interviewers were very professional (with varying levels of friendliness). Got the offer call by the time I got home from the interview - based on the great experience interviewing didn't hesitate to accept.
Positive experience
Average interview
Application
I interviewed at McKinsey & Company (Atlanta, GA)
Interview
The interview is structured exactly as the preparation materials describe, i.e. personal fit and case. All interviewers were friendly and supportive. After each interview round I received helpful feedback. The cases are not easy but fair.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Questions regarding the case. Interviewer will led the case though
First, there is a computer test screening. Then, you get invited for the first round interview, usually conducted by an AP. Then, for second round, you have two interviews with Partners. You get feedback quickly, less than a week between interview and feedback
3 stage interview with increasing seniority. Opportunity to prepare with current colleagues prior to interview which was useful. Straight forwards process, no big suprises if you prepare in advance but prep is needed
