I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at McKinsey & Company (Prague) in Mar 2010
Interview
After my CV was selected I was invited to sit a test in the office. It is the classic test very similiar to the one on the web page. I passed and got invited to interviews which are happening every month once. Interview day consists of 3 interviews with consultants in the morning and if you are sucessful, 2 interviews with partners in the afternoon. Interviews are 60% case study - very technical, 40 % CV and experience.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Calculate how much coil is needed in the plant according to its characteristics...
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
