I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at McKinsey & Company (Herzliya) in Mar 2010
Interview
I applied online by sending my CV and a personnel cover letter.
the process started quickly as i was summoned to take the problem solving test after a week or so.
i tried practicing using the practice test which are available in the mckinsey web site.
the test itself was a bit harder then the practice one.
i would recommend to pay close attention to the time as during the actual test time wasnt taken into account: at the start no one mentioned the current hour or the finishing hour and no 15 minute alert was read out loud. there was a clock in the classroom but as i didnt notice the hour at the start i wasnt able to use it and spend my time wisely.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
many numerical questions that could be solved very easily or in a complicated manner. i would suggest always looking to strike out candidate answers and not go straight to math

Gave assessment. Waiting 1st round. But, here the assessment and resume are scored together to reach next round. Might take 1-3 weeks for invite. Assessment has only 20% - 30% weightage.
The recruiter was great! 2 rounds of 5 interviews, first was 2 associates, second was 3 partners. My first round, the interviewers spoke absolutely broken English and made it extremely difficult to understand what they are trying to say. My second interviewer was extremely rude as well. Honestly comes down to who interviews you and the case selection that will determine your fate
