I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at McKinsey & Company (City of London, England) in Nov 2009
Interview
I think it's quite easy to get the PST offer. And the PST didn't get rid of much of the candidates. The real difficulty is the interviews. I didn't get through to the third round, I got the feedback that I am too personalized about all the achievements and didn't give enough credits to other workers. It's a very good point and the experience is fascinating.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How do you address the conflicts that you had in your group?
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.

Question 1
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.
