      Athens, Athens, Attica
      No offer
      Neutral experience

      Application

      I interviewed at McKinsey & Company (Athens, Athens, Attica)

      Interview

      A few weeks ago, I was inveted to attent the quantative tests in order to attend a business event in the company. The first test was a numerical assessment and because the calculator was not permitted, i found it quite difficult. The questions had assumptions such as if the selling price declines, what will happen to the sales. The second test was about business thinking and it was exactly like the practice tests in the firm;s website. The recruiter decided to gives us 10 minutes more from the standard hour, because she thought that the level of english was too high. One week later, they replied that unfortunately I haven't pass the test.

      Average interview

      Application

      I interviewed at McKinsey & Company (Moscow, Moskva)

      Interview

      Slow, and the HR was a bit arrogant which overall complicated the whole process. I would recommend it if only you have plenty of time on your hands. They also should be more polite and less looking down on potential employees.

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at McKinsey & Company (Taipei)

      Interview

      Had one round of HR screening interview before the actual case interview. The HR interview was quite chill, just some motivational questions. The case interview was hard, and the interviewer was not very nice.
