I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at McKinsey & Company (London, England)
Interview
Introduced myself to recruitment staff at graduate fair. Invited to presentation in a hotel. Completed application. Then invited to 2 training session with a few business analysts. Then did a test that was an MCQ based on comprehension mostly and some simple maths. Interviews: 2, one with partner, one with manager. Asked to describe a challenging situation in a lot of detail and my perceptions of consequences of my actions (20 min). Also did a case (20 min). Case was about IT, it was quite specialised and difficult. No brain teasers, very friendly.

I interviewed at McKinsey & Company (San Francisco, CA)
Interview
Interview was a straightforward case study, and a McKinsey-specific Personal Experience Interview. This was difficult but I was able to prepare, so it was not too challenging after preparation. The team was very kind throughout the process and I was able to request information on the interview style ahead of time.

Question 1
Tell me about a challenge and how you overcame it?
Passed the online test and then had a round 1 interview. I got a rejection call shortly after. Interviews were a mix of behavioral and technical. Difficulty depends on difficulty of case.
First you get an HR Round, then 2 back to back interviews then 3 interviews. The overall process took around 2-3 weeks, it was not very difficult very fast turnaround
