I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at McKinsey & Company (Bucharest, Bucuresti) in Sep 2011
Interview
I applied online through their career website and a couple of days later I was contacted by HR, who invited me to take the preliminary Problem Solving Test. A week later I took the test and in 24 hours after I took the test I was notified by email that I passed and received an invitation for the first round of interviews.
I haven't had the interviews yet, but because I'm applying from a different location, they arranged to have the first session over the phone.... Looking forward to it.
Passed the online test and then had a round 1 interview. I got a rejection call shortly after. Interviews were a mix of behavioral and technical. Difficulty depends on difficulty of case.
I interviewed at McKinsey & Company (New York, NY)
Interview
Positive experience until the super day. The scheduling was quite long and they gave me a month's gap between my previous round and my final round. But overall everyone speaks eloquently and thinks logically. My interactions with senior partners are also very positive; they ask insightful, probing questions and were encouraging throughout the interview. I thought I smashed it, but one of the partners called me the other day and rejected me.
First you get an HR Round, then 2 back to back interviews then 3 interviews. The overall process took around 2-3 weeks, it was not very difficult very fast turnaround
