The process took 2 months. I interviewed at McKinsey & Company (Singapore) in Jul 2010
Interview
Started with resume screening before the Problem Solving Test. True difficulty of test is time management - ability to finish the questions on time, as the questions are not exceedingly difficult.
Two rounds of case interviews. In my instance, where interviews were held on separate days, you can actually "call"/contact your interviewer for feedback prior to the next interview. I was given strongly positive feedback after one particular interview, even before I did my 2nd, for the same round.

I applied through college or university. I interviewed at McKinsey & Company (Cambridge, MA)
Interview
they let you prep for cases and do what the book says. this is only a question of how hard you prepared. then they take the people one by one and repeat again and again. sometimes the people who give you interviews have been there for less time than 1 yr

Interview
The selection process is rigorous and highly competitive, involving multiple rounds of case interviews along with a personality assessment. Candidates are evaluated not only on their problem-solving and analytical abilities but also on their communication, leadership potential, and overall fit with the organization’s values and culture. The process is designed to identify high achievers who have demonstrated consistent excellence throughout their academic and professional journeys, maintaining strong performance over time rather than relying on isolated accomplishments.”
The interview is structured exactly as the preparation materials describe, i.e. personal fit and case. All interviewers were friendly and supportive. After each interview round I received helpful feedback. The cases are not easy but fair.
