I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at McKinsey & Company (Madrid) in Mar 2010
Interview
Two 1:1 interviews, 15-20 min of personal questions, 30 of case study. 1 math-logic test with 26 questions (similar to GRE/GMAT questions, not hard but time-consuming). One of the interviewers and I didn't get along, at all. Only got feedback from him.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me a story about a time in which you led a team and there was a conflict.
Straightforward, well structured & well explained. Long duration, with 5 30-ish minute interviews total spread out over the course of a couple of weeks. Great support, information on requirements/evaluations readily available.
Too long - too many rounds. Had to play a game first, then multiple rounds. No follow ups after I was rejected - I got ghosted.
Did not enjoy it - obviously this was a long while back and I was too young to notice but not a good behaviour. Truly no respect.
The process made me feel very unprepared but I was able to get through with all of my studying. I would recommend anyone about to interview with them look at Harvard Business cases as reference
