I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at McKinsey & Company (Palo Alto, CA) in Jun 2016
Interview
Very fair, extensive with 3 rounds: phone screen w/ case, in-person 1st round, final round. Phone screen with case was fairly standard except it was a little difficult over the phone. The in-person interview involved a virtual interview followed by an in-person interview. Both interviewers were professional, although the more junior interviewer was very difficult to understand given his thick accent and he had difficulty understanding me.
