I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at McKinsey & Company (Róterdam) in Nov 2013
Interview
Ik heb gesolliciteerd via McKinsey online. Ze hebben binnen één week gereageerd, met het aanbod om een telefonisch interview te doen. Door een gigantisch tijdsverschil moest ik 's nachts spreken. We hebben mijn potentiële rol besproken en ik moest mijn sollicitatie annuleren omdat de rol niet echt bij mijn profiel paste.
I interviewed at McKinsey & Company (Ciudad de México)
Interview
Interview process was really great, all interviewers were friendly and professional. Started with a phone screen, then two case interview rounds with a partner and a senior associate, followed by a final round covering fit and problem-solving skills
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about a time you had to influence someone without formal authority
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.
