I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at McKinsey & Company in Feb 2010
Interview
I applied on line and a couple of weeks later I received an email asking me to attend a screening test, which was a case-study style (GMAT like) in English. A few days later I got another notification that I passed the first test and I was then asked to attend a 1:1 interview with HR. The HR interview itself was an average one with common questions like "What have you done in your school?" "Why do you want to come?". However I was not well prepared and some parts of my answers were not well-organized.
Had 2 rounds. First was a virtual interview with 2 sessions back-to-back. One case and one PEI in each. Second was a final in person round, with 3 sessions back-to-back with one case and one PEI each.

Behavioral questions - There are only 4 PEIs which are listed in their career prep site
3 step process. first was a screening then followed with around 7 case studies. the case studies ranged in varying industries and scope. this was done over a course of 2 months
Too long, too many rounds, too many people interviewing you and you need to follow up several times in order to get a response. They give you the materials to prepare which is good, but everything else is suboptimal
