Candidatei-me online. O processo levou 2 meses. Fui entrevistado pela McKinsey & Company (Lisboa, Lisboa) em nov. de 2015
Entrevista
I applied online (CV + cover letter) and got a reply 2 days later.
There was first a Problem Solving Test of 75min (you get 15min more than the standard 60min if English is not your native language), which I was able to schedule 2 weeks from then. I studied all the practice tests on the McKinsey website and a couple more that I found online. In the beginning I would answer more than half of the questions wrong and take way more than 75min, but then I started to figure out tricks to go faster and what kind of answer they expected in certain questions, and it got easier.
After the test I was invited for the 1st round of interviews (2 interviews of 1h, back-to-back), that I scheduled for about 1 month later. In the meantime I read a lot about case interviews and did several mock interviews. The interviews were 15min of fit interview, 30min case, and then Q&A. The interviewers were not that nice, it was clear they hadn't read my CV or cover letter before and they didn't show much interest in what I was saying throughout the interview (except during Q&A).
Fit: The usual questions.
Case: Interviewer led, but very scattered: it wasn't clear to me how to connect the several parts of the case into a coherent story. First question is to structure the approach to the case. In the middle there are some computations, sometimes you have to round the numbers up to simplify. I was shown some plots and had to take conclusions from them. No market estimation questions.
I didn't pass the 1st round of interviews. I also did not get feedback about the reasons why, even though I asked for it.
Didn't get to the interview stage so I can't say how the process is. Didn't get pass the game phase. Hopefully, next time, I'd be able to give a better experience.
2 Rounds of interview, PEI+ Case study. Final round is in person. PEI questions are easy, but the cases are very hard. Timeline took about 3 months between receiving the OT and Final round.

Tell me a time you worked with people from different background
General call with HR representative discussing experience and motivation for the role. More like standard screening instead of typical interview. Be sure to give a thorough background of yourself and have solid motivation.
