      Consultant Interview

      24 Oct 2011
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at McKinsey & Company in June 2011

      Interview

      The interview process is well documented, my main tip is to be prepared for VERY detailed questions about your past experience. When you choose a story to talk about in the behavioral interview, be sure you remember every little detail, including what you said in specific discussions and meetings. You need to be able to communicate how exactly you impacted the situation.

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I interviewed at McKinsey & Company (Tokyo)

      Interview

      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.

      Question 1

      What was the most difficult situation you have encountered in the workplace? What did you do about it?
