The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at McKinsey & Company (New York, NY) in Oct 2010
Interview
From Campus Recruiting Center:
1st round: PST test. relatively difficult and combined reading comprehension with business cases (1 hour). Followed by two 1:1 interviews (50 minutes each) delving into personal experience and a business case. With personal experience, really focused on individual contribution. With the cases, they cut me off when it was clear I understood the impact to move on to another one ("Ok, what else?"). The cases also included a quantitative aspect as well with percentage calculations and such.
Was given a second round consisting of four 1:1 interviews (50 minutes each) with directors and partners.
Similar structure to first round.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
Give me a time where you lead a group? What did you do?
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.
