I applied through college or university. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at McKinsey & Company in Nov 2010
Interview
3rd round case interviews were much more vague then previous rounds. Seemed like they were trying to trick you with misleading information or leaving information out of the case.

Question 1
Tell me about a time you had to influence someone without formal authority
It was a one-to-one interview with a consultant. It's a typical case study. The experience was traumatizing. I know my answers weren't great, the consultant was elegant and didn't bother to hide his boredom.
