I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at McKinsey & Company (Prague) in Feb 2010
Interview
First: Problem solving test, rather easy, but the time space was limited
Second: 3 rounds of 1:1 discussions with engagement menagers consisting of CV resume, sample cases. Interviewer were very helpful amd smart.
Third: 3 rounds of 1:1 discussins with Partners. They were more focused on details and challenging.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Please desscribe your leadership in the most challengig situation you have ever been
The interview is structured exactly as the preparation materials describe, i.e. personal fit and case. All interviewers were friendly and supportive. After each interview round I received helpful feedback. The cases are not easy but fair.

Question 1
Questions regarding the case. Interviewer will led the case though
First, there is a computer test screening. Then, you get invited for the first round interview, usually conducted by an AP. Then, for second round, you have two interviews with Partners. You get feedback quickly, less than a week between interview and feedback
3 stage interview with increasing seniority. Opportunity to prepare with current colleagues prior to interview which was useful. Straight forwards process, no big suprises if you prepare in advance but prep is needed
