      Public and Social Sector Associate Interview

      Oct 7, 2016
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Buenos Aires
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at McKinsey & Company (Buenos Aires) in Aug 2016

      Interview

      PST and case interview, where the interviewer evaluates your business, maths and industry analysis skills. A few personal questions at the beginning. Typically the duration is from 40 to 60 minutes. Case interview is mostly in English (for Argentina applicants). Ambience was nice in two out of three rounds. One of the interviewers was quite rude to me.
