I applied through university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at McKinsey & Company (New York, NY) in Aug 2025
Interview
Lengthy and complicated as expected. Make sure to be familiar with the McKinsey problem solving game and related exercises. Similarly, make sure you are VERY comfortable with every type of case and expect cases on the edge of your comfort zone.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Problem Solving Game, screening interview, Case Interview.
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.
I interviewed at McKinsey & Company (New York, NY)
Interview
Positive experience until the super day. The scheduling was quite long and they gave me a month's gap between my previous round and my final round. But overall everyone speaks eloquently and thinks logically. My interactions with senior partners are also very positive; they ask insightful, probing questions and were encouraging throughout the interview. I thought I smashed it, but one of the partners called me the other day and rejected me.
First you get an HR Round, then 2 back to back interviews then 3 interviews. The overall process took around 2-3 weeks, it was not very difficult very fast turnaround
