I applied online. The process took 6 months. I interviewed at McKinsey & Company (Doha) in Apr 2026
Interview
In the 20-minute personal experience interview, I was able to engage comfortably and reflect on my background, but in the 40-minute case I struggled to structure my approach and interpret the exhibit clearly. I didn’t manage to finish the case within the time limit, particularly when it came to setting up the math and moving through the analysis logically. However, both interviewers were supportive throughout and tried to guide me when I got stuck, which helped me stay engaged and keep progressing even if I wasn’t fully on track.
Other Business Analyst interview reviews for McKinsey & Company
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.
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

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.
