I applied through university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at McKinsey & Company (San Francisco, CA) in Jan 2007
Interview
Multiple rounds of case-based interviews. Each round was comprised of 2-5 one-on-one interviews with current McKinsey consultants, and each interview consisted of both fit/culture and business case questions.
With only a few exceptions, the case questions were based on actual client projects the consultants worked on. The cases ranged from telecom CRM strategy to ERP implementation valuation; all were tough in that the interviewers asked penetrating questions.

I recently went through McKinsey's revamped interview process. It included AI-assisted screening, interactive case simulations, assessments of emotional intelligence, cultural fit evaluation, and in-depth discussions on ethics and leadership. It was a rigorous and thought-provoking experience.

Initial screening discussion, followed by HR discussion and then case discussions happen with the Senior Consultants and partner. The time between the first and second rounds was nearly 4 weeks, so its important to be patient. The team are very friendly in all the interviews.
