I applied through university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at McKinsey & Company (Toronto, ON) in Jan 2009
Interview
2 rounds of interviews - very similar style on same day
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
There was a case about truck manufacturing company... they wanted to know how should they price their premium truck... involved some calculations about the value to the customer... but I forgot about the cannibalization part...
3 step process. first was a screening then followed with around 7 case studies. the case studies ranged in varying industries and scope. this was done over a course of 2 months
Too long, too many rounds, too many people interviewing you and you need to follow up several times in order to get a response. They give you the materials to prepare which is good, but everything else is suboptimal
Das erste Interview war mit der HR. Klassische Fragen - Führ mich durch deinen Lebenslauf, warum Consulting, was motiviert dich etc. Das zweite Interview ging 3 Stunden. Nach einem kurzen Kennenlerenen, kamen zwei Case-Studys dran - eins auf Deutsch und eins auf Englisch.
