I applied online. The process took 8 months. I interviewed at McKinsey & Company (São Paulo, São Paulo) in Dec 2024
Interview
Processo durou mais de 6 meses. Solve feito em março e resposta só em dezembro. Comunicação bem ruim quanto ao cronograma do processo. Empresa dá bastante suporte para ajudar a se preparar para as entrevistas, que são bem padronizadas. Pessoal que me entrevistou foi super educado e solicito.

Question 1
Primeira para da entrevista com perguntas típicas do PEI (personal impact, corageous change e inclusive leadership). Segunda parte com cases, sempre bem padrões (até mesmo com sócios), com perguntas claras.
Gave assessment. Waiting 1st round. But, here the assessment and resume are scored together to reach next round. Might take 1-3 weeks for invite. Assessment has only 20% - 30% weightage.
The recruiter was great! 2 rounds of 5 interviews, first was 2 associates, second was 3 partners. My first round, the interviewers spoke absolutely broken English and made it extremely difficult to understand what they are trying to say. My second interviewer was extremely rude as well. Honestly comes down to who interviews you and the case selection that will determine your fate
I interviewed at McKinsey & Company (San Francisco, CA)
Interview
Interview was a straightforward case study, and a McKinsey-specific Personal Experience Interview. This was difficult but I was able to prepare, so it was not too challenging after preparation. The team was very kind throughout the process and I was able to request information on the interview style ahead of time.
