I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at McKinsey & Company (Tokyo) in Nov 2022
Interview
The interview process consisted of multiple rounds of case interviews, which is typical for management consulting firms. After submitting my application online, I received an invitation for the first round within a few weeks. The first round involved a structured problem-solving exercise where I was asked to break down a business issue into its key components and present a comprehensive framework covering all relevant dimensions. The interviewer assessed my ability to think in a structured and mutually exclusive, collectively exhaustive manner. In the second round, I was given several charts and data exhibits to interpret, and I had to draw meaningful insights from the data to support a recommendation. The third component involved a quantitative exercise where I had to perform calculations under time pressure to arrive at a business estimate. Overall, the interviewers were professional and the process was well-organized.

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.
