      Junior Research Analyst Interview

      11 Sept 2011
      Anonymous employee
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at McKinsey & Company in Jan 2011

      Interview

      Through a personal contact within the firm, my CV and cover letter were sent to a relevant person inside of the organization (a current practice leader and former office manager where I was applying to work at) After the review of my application, I was called for interviews that would follow the classic McK structure minus one round, since I was interviewing for an intern position: 2 rounds, the FIRST consisting of a "problem solving test" and 3 one-to-one with would be colleagues (typical 15min chatter testing leadership, drive and responsibility + 30-40 min business case). the SECOND via videoconf consisting of 2 one-to-ones with more senior people

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Nothing in particular. Just know you CV inside out and be cool headed. MAke it is a two way interview.
