I applied online. The process took 7 weeks. I interviewed at McKinsey & Company (Madrid) in Dec 2013
Interview
It was a standard interview process. Firstly, an IQ Test. One can fine some of this test online and I they are not difficult. However, I think that not lots of people pass this part.
After the test, the typical strategic consultancy interview with consultants. In my case, these consultants were quite junior.
Gave assessment. Waiting 1st round. But, here the assessment and resume are scored together to reach next round. Might take 1-3 weeks for invite. Assessment has only 20% - 30% weightage.
The recruiter was great! 2 rounds of 5 interviews, first was 2 associates, second was 3 partners. My first round, the interviewers spoke absolutely broken English and made it extremely difficult to understand what they are trying to say. My second interviewer was extremely rude as well. Honestly comes down to who interviews you and the case selection that will determine your fate
I interviewed at McKinsey & Company (San Francisco, CA)
Interview
Interview was a straightforward case study, and a McKinsey-specific Personal Experience Interview. This was difficult but I was able to prepare, so it was not too challenging after preparation. The team was very kind throughout the process and I was able to request information on the interview style ahead of time.
