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?
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.
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.
