      Executive Assistant - Floater Position Interview

      16 Apr 2013
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Palo Alto, CA
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at McKinsey & Company (Palo Alto, CA) in Apr 2013

      Interview

      I was invited to first round testing at McKinsey via my recruiter. The test was a series of times grammar, reading comp and spelling tests and three hypotheticals. The netx day I found out that I was being called back for 2nd round and would meet with an HR manager, two EAs and the senior-most HR Manager. The interviews were grueling in that you were expected to review the details of your resume over and over again albeit from a slightly different perspective based on the interviewer.

      Interview questions [2]

      Question 1

      "When will you know its time to leave McKinsey?"
