Ho presentato la mia candidatura online. La procedura ha richiesto 8 settimane. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso McKinsey & Company nel mese di ott 2010
Colloquio
Online application (where they ask for your SAT score, and the scores to any standardized test you have ever taken). Followed by a written timed exam. Followed by 3 interviews (case + personal experience). One of my interviewers violated my privacy by telling another interviewee whom I knew that I had applied --which raised a red flag. The people who work there were impressive and smart but complained about the hours.

Colloquio
Rigorous but fair questions - mostly case based. Two sets of interviews x 2 rounds. You only get invited back for the afternoon if you pass the morning round. They expect a high degree of mental math and creativity. Worth prepping for standard case interview style questions, using frameworks but able to adapt them.

Colloquio
Long process with little to no communication, good folks though. Not too difficult just time consuming. Pulled out after the first round as I lost interest, but appreciated the opportunity to interview.

Colloquio
The interview process is structured and demanding. It includes a resume screen, problem solving tests, and multiple case interviews with personal experience questions. It’s objectively hard, testing structured thinking, communication, and calm under pressure. Not impossible but you must prepare seriously.

Domanda 1
They asked me to walk through a case and clearly structure the problem first. How I broke it down mattered more than getting the final answer right.
