I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at McKinsey & Company (Bogota, Cundinamarca) in Mar 2010
Interview
I took the MCKinsey Problem Solving Test a few weeks ago. It was really harder that the one posted on the web page. You had to be familiar with business talking, some easy words like profits and revenues appeared, but not that esasy as leasing also showed up. You have to be good and fast with calculatios.
2 interviews back-to-back in-person. Cases weren't super hard but you definitely need to prepare a lot beforehand to navigate the curveballs and be able to function under high stress. Expect difficult industries and focus on PEI which is half as important.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about a challenge situation that you faced in detail (expect to be interruped because they will go deep into the story, make it memorable and interesting)
