I applied through university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at McKinsey & Company in Feb 2009
Interview
Overall, it was a pleasant process. The case interview is a very important part of the overall interview. You need to prepare very well for it. I would suggest that interview candidates practice with other people before the real interview. And it is better to apply multiple similar companies to get some exposures to this type of interview. It is also important to prepare for experience interview.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Describe a situation in which you gives personal impacts.
First, there is a computer test screening. Then, you get invited for the first round interview, usually conducted by an AP. Then, for second round, you have two interviews with Partners. You get feedback quickly, less than a week between interview and feedback
3 stage interview with increasing seniority. Opportunity to prepare with current colleagues prior to interview which was useful. Straight forwards process, no big suprises if you prepare in advance but prep is needed
Prepared for assessment but did not make it through first stage. Not difficult but high pressured with time constraint. Lots of materials on youtube which can be used for reference
