I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at McKinsey & Company in Jul 2011
Interview
At first I had to be evaluated on a standard test. A month or so after completing the test I received an email message telling that I had passed the test and that I had to do a few interviews/tests.
Then followed a barrage of 5 interviews/tests were I had to answer a few questions about myself and my track record so far and also had to solve a few case studies.
After this was over I was finally told that I had passed the interviews/tests and I had an offer.
It was really pleasant, and also the recruiter was very personable and they gave resources to prepare for the interview. Also got the chance to talk with their consultants to gain insights on the interview process
