Applied late a few days after the first deadline. I had already completed solve and so I received an email stating I passed the pre-screening and moved forward to interview around a month after I applied.
Positive experience
Difficult interview
Application
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at McKinsey & Company (New York, NY) in Apr 2026
Interview
15 minutes of PEI — smooth sailing, enjoyable, really the time to show who you are, your personality and what you've done.
The rest: the case — Not too difficult if you don't let your nerves get the best of you!
Completed two first rounds and three final rounds with both case and behavioral interviews. First rounds were straightforward with easy math, while final rounds featured significantly more complex quantitative problems.
