I applied through college or university. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at McKinsey & Company (Dubai) in Feb 2013
Interview
Applied through on-campus recruiting. Two rounds of typical McKinsey interviews (~15 minute fit + ~35 minute case); first round was with an Associate and an EM and the second round was with an EM and Partner. The partner skipped the fit part and only did case.
I got called an hour after both interviews to notify me of their decisions.
Very enjoyable interview process and very warm interviewers.
