      Consultant Interview

      Dec 20, 2009
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through college or university. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at McKinsey & Company in Apr 2007

      Interview

      This was an interview from a long time ago but I remember thinking the interview went very well, but in the end didn't take the job since I got one elsewhere that I liked better. But it seemed like for the right person it would have been a good position. I recall they asked a question about how many bottles of water were sold in the world this year or something like that.

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I interviewed at McKinsey & Company (Tokio)

      Interview

      It was a one-to-one interview with a consultant. It's a typical case study. The experience was traumatizing. I know my answers weren't great, the consultant was elegant and didn't bother to hide his boredom.
