I applied through university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at McKinsey & Company in Jun 2009
Interview
the firm made a presentation at my campus. I submitted the application online and got invited to participate in a test. the test has a few business cases in the form of case study questions. its not that hard but you have to be familiar with the concept. (the book case in point is recommended).
I passed the test and got an interview. the interview consists of both fit interview(the usual leadership questions and why do you want to work here etc..) and case study interview.
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
