I applied in-person. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at McKinsey & Company (Warsaw, Masovia) in Mar 2024
Interview
Very streamlined, well organized, easy to prepare using publicly available materials. Case study depends on who is the interviewer, one was quite nice, the other one tried to challenge every argument
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They wanted me to analyse market potential for a new railway company in Central and Easter Europe.
The interview is structured exactly as the preparation materials describe, i.e. personal fit and case. All interviewers were friendly and supportive. After each interview round I received helpful feedback. The cases are not easy but fair.

Question 1
Questions regarding the case. Interviewer will led the case though
First, there is a computer test screening. Then, you get invited for the first round interview, usually conducted by an AP. Then, for second round, you have two interviews with Partners. You get feedback quickly, less than a week between interview and feedback
3 stage interview with increasing seniority. Opportunity to prepare with current colleagues prior to interview which was useful. Straight forwards process, no big suprises if you prepare in advance but prep is needed
