I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at McKinsey & Company in May 2025
Interview
Difficult cases that are inherently hard to solve. Focus on structure and explaining your thinking above "solving" it as they are in niches you are highly unlikely to know much about.
Other Consultant interview reviews for McKinsey & Company
Had 2 rounds. First was a virtual interview with 2 sessions back-to-back. One case and one PEI in each. Second was a final in person round, with 3 sessions back-to-back with one case and one PEI each.

Question 1
Tell me about yourself
Behavioral questions - There are only 4 PEIs which are listed in their career prep site
3 step process. first was a screening then followed with around 7 case studies. the case studies ranged in varying industries and scope. this was done over a course of 2 months
Too long, too many rounds, too many people interviewing you and you need to follow up several times in order to get a response. They give you the materials to prepare which is good, but everything else is suboptimal
