Interview and test @ McKinsey Solutions

The classic McKinsey Problem Solving test, 3 case studies (about a luxury clothing store having sales problems, a luxury boat manufacturer that wants to introduce leasing in order to boost sales and a "borrow a teacher" business that lends professors to colleges), 26 questions in 90 minutes. Multiple options questions with 4 given alternatives.
 
10 math and logic questions in 30 min. Multiple options questions with 4 given alternatives in GMAT style. Includes questions like: calculate probability, find the number with the following properties, 10x10x10 Rubik cube exercise, find the strange number in a series, calculate the age exercise, classroom with boys and girls passing exam, etc.

Very informal discussion with a recruiter:
  • simulating a problem solving business case with an Opera house with sales falling; make assumptions and identify the problem;
  • design a login page and discuss different scenario: intranet website, Internet access, reporting, mobile;
  • secure data on a stolen mobile device;
  • what do you think about Facebook?
  • Hobbies?
  • some technical questions on .NET
Attention point: this interview it's not job specific so even if you've applied for a specific position, the evaluation it's generic, you might be referred for a different role...
