I interviewed at McKinsey & Company (Qazaqstan, Almaty Province)
Interview
Took more than 4 months, I was not comfortable with the interviewers and the HR team. Very selective process for the office which is lack of employees.
Interview process included 3 interviews in the first round with one stress interview, which was totally unnecessary.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Mostly typical interview questions they are are asking for consulting positions
2 interviews back-to-back in-person. Cases weren't super hard but you definitely need to prepare a lot beforehand to navigate the curveballs and be able to function under high stress. Expect difficult industries and focus on PEI which is half as important.

Question 1
Tell me about a challenge situation that you faced in detail (expect to be interruped because they will go deep into the story, make it memorable and interesting)
Ofrece muchos recursos a tu disponibilidad para preparar las entrevistas como reuniones online para explicar el proceso, y grupos de ayuda. El proceso es largo, pero lo merece para pertenecer a esta empresa.
