I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at McKinsey & Company in Mar 2010
Interview
First round- Problem Solving test (multiple questions with mostly simple math testing your business aptitude) similar to the S.A.T. followed by a couple group case interviews that were nonevaluative but were invaluable if you did not have case experience.
Second round-Multiple one on one case interviews (3 in my case) with associates or engagement managers preceded by a personal fit interview (what experiences showed your leadership potential, etc.?)
Third round-Similar to second round but four interviews this time and with partners or associate principals.
I received an offer that same day via phone call.

I applied in-person. I interviewed at McKinsey & Company

they let you prep for cases and do what the book says. this is only a question of how hard you prepared. then they take the people one by one and repeat again and again. sometimes the people who give you interviews have been there for less time than 1 yr
