Average Interview
Overall Neutral Experience Received and Declined Offer

Interviewed Oct 2008 (took a day)

The interview process took the entire day and consisted of 2 seperate meetings with mid-level managers. Each lasted about 30 minutes to 45 minutes. Each included background and education information. Next came the case studies which were seemingly difficult, but I could have used some more practice, that would have helped. I ultimiately declined the offer for an offer from McK.
