I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at McKinsey & Company (Milan) in Apr 2011
Interview
Applied online. Invited to Problem Solving, passed. First interview (Manager + HR vs me) very challenging on the motivation side, case was easy. Partner interview were ok, cases not very difficoult but you had to find your own way to solve it. I completely screwed the last interview as I started arguing with the partner about the solution of the case. I did not get the offer
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
Assume I lose your CV and photo. How do I remember about you if you call me back in one month?
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.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about a challenge and how you overcame it?
Passed the online test and then had a round 1 interview. I got a rejection call shortly after. Interviews were a mix of behavioral and technical. Difficulty depends on difficulty of case.
I interviewed at McKinsey & Company (New York, NY)
Interview
Positive experience until the super day. The scheduling was quite long and they gave me a month's gap between my previous round and my final round. But overall everyone speaks eloquently and thinks logically. My interactions with senior partners are also very positive; they ask insightful, probing questions and were encouraging throughout the interview. I thought I smashed it, but one of the partners called me the other day and rejected me.
