I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at McKinsey & Company (Munich, Bavaria)
Interview
Es ist ein ziemlich standardisiertes Interview. Ich fand den Online test interessant.
Mit guter Vorbereitung schaffbar. Man muss sich auf ungewöhnliche cases einstellen. Frameworks helfen nicht, stattdessen einfach strukturiert und logisch denken.

I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at McKinsey & Company in Jul 2025
Interview
The whole interview process was very transparent and well-structured. I completed an online assessment, had a virtual interview and then two in-person at a McKinsey office (50% PEI, 50% case). Everyone was really friendly and whenever I had questions (regarding the process, in the case interviews, ...) everyone was happy to help.

Question 1
PEI questions as described on the McKinsey Website. Why McKinsey
Sehr positiv und gute Timeline. Wurde frühzeitig über die nächsten Schritte informiert. Konnte mit den zur Verfügung gestellten Materialien einigermaßen preppen. Das Interview lief an sich sehr entspannt ab, teilw. künstlich erzeugte Druckszenarien (Fragen wiederholen, nachbohren, etc.) aber generell freundliche Interviewer.
