McKinsey & Company Business Analyst Interview

Posted Apr 17, 2010

No Offer – Interviewed in Herzliya (Israel) Mar 2010 – Reviewed Apr 17, 2010

Interview Details – I applied online by sending my CV and a personnel cover letter.
the process started quickly as i was summoned to take the problem solving test after a week or so.
i tried practicing using the practice test which are available in the mckinsey web site.
the test itself was a bit harder then the practice one.
i would recommend to pay close attention to the time as during the actual test time wasnt taken into account: at the start no one mentioned the current hour or the finishing hour and no 15 minute alert was read out loud. there was a clock in the classroom but as i didnt notice the hour at the start i wasnt able to use it and spend my time wisely.

Interview Question – many numerical questions that could be solved very easily or in a complicated manner. i would suggest always looking to strike out candidate answers and not go straight to math   Answer Question

Other Details - I applied online and the process took a day.
