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.
I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at McKinsey & Company in Jun 2009
Interview
the firm made a presentation at my campus. I submitted the application online and got invited to participate in a test. the test has a few business cases in the form of case study questions. its not that hard but you have to be familiar with the concept. (the book case in point is recommended).
I passed the test and got an interview. the interview consists of both fit interview(the usual leadership questions and why do you want to work here etc..) and case study interview.
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.
