I applied through college or university. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at McKinsey & Company (Madrid) in Mar 2023
Interview
As part of the McKinsey interview process, I participated in four case interviews with senior Engagement Managers and Partners. Each session was designed to simulate real consulting scenarios, challenging me to structure complex problems, analyze data under pressure, and communicate clear recommendations. These interviews tested not only my analytical thinking but also my ability to collaborate and adapt in high-stakes environments. Engaging directly with experienced leaders gave me valuable insight into McKinsey’s approach to problem-solving and client impact. It was an intense yet rewarding experience that pushed me to demonstrate strategic thinking and professional maturity.

they let you prep for cases and do what the book says. this is only a question of how hard you prepared. then they take the people one by one and repeat again and again. sometimes the people who give you interviews have been there for less time than 1 yr

Interview
The selection process is rigorous and highly competitive, involving multiple rounds of case interviews along with a personality assessment. Candidates are evaluated not only on their problem-solving and analytical abilities but also on their communication, leadership potential, and overall fit with the organization’s values and culture. The process is designed to identify high achievers who have demonstrated consistent excellence throughout their academic and professional journeys, maintaining strong performance over time rather than relying on isolated accomplishments.”
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.
