I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at McKinsey & Company in Jan 2010
Interview
3x3 one-hour 1:1 interview
Each interview divided into 3 parts :
- experience interview (testing leardership skills, personal impact and achievement)
- business case
- questions
Advice : be very - very !- well prepared, practice and practice again the business cases, write down 3 different personal stories showing off your leadership skills, teamwork abilities, impact on your environnement and personal achievements and then repeat and reapeat them again with friends or in front of the mirror
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
Tell me about one time when you disagree with your boss and how you managed to bring him/her round your opinion.
Didn't get to the interview stage so I can't say how the process is. Didn't get pass the game phase. Hopefully, next time, I'd be able to give a better experience.
2 Rounds of interview, PEI+ Case study. Final round is in person. PEI questions are easy, but the cases are very hard. Timeline took about 3 months between receiving the OT and Final round.

Question 1
Tell me a time you worked with people from different background
General call with HR representative discussing experience and motivation for the role. More like standard screening instead of typical interview. Be sure to give a thorough background of yourself and have solid motivation.
