I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at McKinsey & Company (Cleveland, OH) in Oct 2008
Interview
The interview consisted of 2 rounds of interviews at two different offices. The first involved 2 interviews with associate and engagement manager level consultants. The second day involved partners and directors. The case questions were relatively difficult each involving a real project scenario. The interviewers do a good job at leading you through the question, but require you to fill in many blanks which is both difficult and nerve racking, particularly if you have exhausted all thoughts on a subject matter.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
Provide an example of where you have left a lasting impact on an organization.
case based question around manufacturing process with the ultimate crack the case moment being that the manufacturing facility equipment was very wasteful.
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
