Case Interview Method

Be well versed in basic geopolitics, maths, and be in engaging. Be willing to back up your numbers. Remember no one likes to feel stupid, most importantly an interviewer. I'd advise you to be prepared to be intimidated and tired, and even bored, and even asking WTF am I doing here? - things that consultants experience OTJ.

Interview Questions

Application

The process took 6+ months. I interviewed at McKinsey & Company (Ithaca, NY).

Interview

The campus recruiting team is ridiculously unprofessional and shows no respect to candidates. The process started October 2017 and lasted till March 2018. After passing the first round on HackerRank, I was contacted for the next round but the process was delayed due to Christmas. In end January/early February I was contacted again. I sent out my availability for several times then never heard anything from anyone. Then I received an auto-rejection email in mid March. This is such a shame that a well-known company has a such disorganized campus recruiting team. I am glad I got an offer way better than McKinsey in the end.

1 step in the interview process was to pass 2 tests... first on the computer, writing emails in different situations and second test was on paper answering logical and mathematical questions. I didn't pass to the next step, unfortunately.

On campus interview, including a case interview and personal experience. Tip: practice case with people before the interview. Two rounds, one hour per rounds. Applied online, because i go to a target school, i didn't do any networking. Heard the process is pretty selective.

Interview

the interview process wasn't bad. The questions were standard questions. The first interviewer who is a second year analyst was very disorganized. She was doing something in her kitchen and didn't stand at one place. She moved from one place to another and that was very distracting.

Interview

Overall a very long process (took 4 full months), but everyone I met at McKinsey was extremely helpful and supportive. You definitely need to practice a lot of live cases as well as mental math drills and also come prepared to talk about your personal stories. That said, I always felt like the interviewers were really rooting for me to succeed, even in the final round.

The format was very standard. Assessment call to go over a case, three first round interviews with associates and engagement managers followed by three final round interviews with partners and associate partners.

If you like this interview process you'll love the job, if not, you may not like the work. Studying and having a diverse knowledge pool of approaches is critical and a large time investment. The most pleasant but also most difficult interview experience. They really encourage you the entire way
