McKinsey & Company Interview Questions & Reviews

Interview Details Rigorous test on your personality, previous experience, PST

Interview Details Initial communication was registering online. Next was the first face-to-face interview at the job fair site, where the interviewer asked us the basic question. Why this job ? Why this company ? The job responsibilities ? Current job ?
Next was an online test testing our language skills, which was easy.
another round of interview which was a little more detailed. Mainly the questions were from the CV that we gave. the interviewers take detailed notes of all our answers on their lap.
Next round was an HR round at their office in trivandrum after a week. The interview lasted more than an hour and half. Small tests were done and corrections were offered.
Final round was technical which was held after another week because their head office people had to come. the last round was bad. we were given a test to do on ppt.

the worst experience was that despite taking the pains to go to their office twice & waiting for the last round of interview for more than 3 hours, I am not sad at not being offered a position. But they said that they would inform. But they dint. The company dint have atleast the basic courtesy to inform atleast by mail that i the candidate has not been selected.
The same happened with many people i know. Mckinsey has lost my respect.

Interview Details Very transparent and competitive. Optimally designed to remove interviewer bias and spans across previous experience, problem solving ability, academic profile.
Pays lots of attention in synthesis of the problem statement and logical flow of solving the problem. Should be excellent in communication, both verbally as well as in writing.

Interview Details Three rounds of case and industry interview and testing of basic analytical approach and skills

Interview Details initial hr screening, another hr round, aptitude test, another in depth hr round, another hr round at the company premises, operational round

Interview Details Different when I was interviewed, grammar tests, drafting skills, talking about yourself, your strengths and weaknesses

Negotiation Details – Unfortunately, I was not much of a negotiator, hence am unable to give any advice

Interview Details There were three initial telephonic discussions where the Company's recruitment team wanted to analyse the fit. I was informed that there will a Batch Day where candidates will be called to undergo some tests and a series of interviews.

Batch Day 1 (EM rounds): I underwent a Mckinsey Problem Solving Test and two case rounds

Batch Day 2 (Partner rounds): I underwent one case dialogue round and two personal impact rounds

Interview Details Campus recruitment. Anywhere between 3-7 rounds of interviews. All have a case question with some bit of CV based questions. Need to solve the case to get in

Negotiation Details – Offered choice of offices and choice of practices.

Interview Details Approaced by consultant, 2 round of telephonic interviews followed by Batch day face to face interviews, mix of experience and case interviews.
Round 1 (Telephonic) - some basic experience, case to calculate Indians travelling to Thailand
Round 2 (Telephonic) - this time recruiter gave me more information and sought less from me. No case was discussed. Provided detailed background and clarifications on role
Round 3(face to face) - detailed experience interview and one case from retailing industry (how to regain lost market share)
Round 4 (afce to face) - only case interview on launching new business in new territory (this is where i made a silly mental calculation mistake)
