I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at McKinsey & Company (Boston, MA) in Oct 2013
Interview
I was brought in for an interview for a BA role in Boston, and ended up going through two case interviews and one problem solving test. Each of the three parts was an hour long, and the most intimidating one was the first case interview. I felt it was more challenging because I never did case interviews before (other than with peers). The second case went better, but my feedback, after being declined for a second and final round interview was because of my poor performance on the first case.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Describe a situation in which you were faced with a difficult problem and how did you solve it.
2 interviews back-to-back in-person. Cases weren't super hard but you definitely need to prepare a lot beforehand to navigate the curveballs and be able to function under high stress. Expect difficult industries and focus on PEI which is half as important.

Question 1
Tell me about a challenge situation that you faced in detail (expect to be interruped because they will go deep into the story, make it memorable and interesting)
