I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at McKinsey & Company in Nov 2025
Interview
Round 1 - case studies and behavioural (PEI) - MS Teams
Two 1:1 interviews which both consisted of a behavioural question, followed by a case. The FIT is different to usual behavioural questions, as they probe quite deeply into a specific question. Cases were trad MBB

Question 1
What ƒactors do you need to consider to understand the [] touring market?
The recruiter was great! 2 rounds of 5 interviews, first was 2 associates, second was 3 partners. My first round, the interviewers spoke absolutely broken English and made it extremely difficult to understand what they are trying to say. My second interviewer was extremely rude as well. Honestly comes down to who interviews you and the case selection that will determine your fate
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.
