I applied through college or university. I interviewed at McKinsey & Company
Interview
I had two interviews in my first round. Each had a behavioral interview section for 20 minutes and 30 min for a case question. Then there was a 10-minute break followed by the same repeated with a different interviewer. Each was a one on one. In both cases, the interviewer was very friendly and I had the impression they were trying to help me along.

Question 1
In the behavioral questions I was asked:
"Tell me about a time you managed a conflict in a team"
"Tell me about a time you had to convince your boss of something"
I interviewed at McKinsey & Company (Ciudad de Mexico)
Interview
Cinco entrevistas, cuatro de ellas con caso y preguntas de comportamiento. El caso combina análisis matemático, pensamiento estructurado, resolución de problemas, comunicación clara y la capacidad de justificar cada decisión de forma lógica y organizada.
Exactly as described on the website, great resources available to prepare. Recommend practicing out loud with as many people as you can as much as possible to ensure preparedness throughout the process
