I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at McKinsey & Company in Feb 2010
Interview
I applied on line and a couple of weeks later I received an email asking me to attend a screening test, which was a case-study style (GMAT like) in English. A few days later I got another notification that I passed the first test and I was then asked to attend a 1:1 interview with HR. The HR interview itself was an average one with common questions like "What have you done in your school?" "Why do you want to come?". However I was not well prepared and some parts of my answers were not well-organized.
3 step process. first was a screening then followed with around 7 case studies. the case studies ranged in varying industries and scope. this was done over a course of 2 months
Too long, too many rounds, too many people interviewing you and you need to follow up several times in order to get a response. They give you the materials to prepare which is good, but everything else is suboptimal
Das erste Interview war mit der HR. Klassische Fragen - Führ mich durch deinen Lebenslauf, warum Consulting, was motiviert dich etc. Das zweite Interview ging 3 Stunden. Nach einem kurzen Kennenlerenen, kamen zwei Case-Studys dran - eins auf Deutsch und eins auf Englisch.
