I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at McKinsey & Company
Interview
It is the most professional recruiting process I have ever been. Even if you are not selected, the experience is worth it! You will learn about yourself as they give you feedback on your strengths and areas of improvement.
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at McKinsey & Company in May 2022
Interview
the first round was an HR call, including behavioral questions, and then 2nd round - a case study presentation(one or two of your previous projects), a design challenge - about an hour, final round- was leadership questions.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
average behavioral questions - tell me about yourself, why you applied, etc
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at McKinsey & Company (Tokyo) in Apr 2021
Interview
First, I was asked to introduce myself, then the interviewer asked about my previous experience, so I answered while showing my portfolio. In the end, we had a 10 mins Q&A session. This interview was about 1 hour long and was organized online.
I want to clarify why I rate this experience negatively. The interview question was proper and great while the interviewer was obviously in a bad mood that day. She looked like she was not interested in doing this and made me feel like she was mentally checked out somehow.
I was shocked to have such a negative experience because, before this interview, I met several people who work(worked) at Mckinsey to ask for portfolio review and everyone was extremely kind, helpful, and empathetic(including 2 recruiters). This was the only person that made me so frustrated. If you don't want to do this just screen me out :)
