      Consultant Interview

      18 Oct 2010
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      The process took 1 day. I interviewed at McKinsey & Company in Oct 2010

      Interview

      PEI: Personal Experience Interview, where you need to be as specific as possible about a leadership situation and how you contibuted. This was followed by a case on the wine industry and followed by 5-6 minutes of my questions. Then off to the second interviewer, beginning with 'tell me about a challenging situation where you were up against senior leaders/groups". Then a case about a school system in springfield, and a few minutes for questions. After these two interviews was the 60 minute PST. Harder than the GMAT, so prepare appropriately.

      Interview

      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
