I interviewed at McKinsey & Company (Lisbon, Lisbon District)
Interview
Pre-First Round Interview Online.
The case was considerably acessible considering preparation materials.
Take all the time you need to structure your answers, as it is one of the main criteria in case assessment.
Contrary to what was expected, I did not have a PEI Question, more like the usual behavioural interview.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The case was a Profitability one, about a paper manufacturer.
We covered both the Cost and Revenues dimension.
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.
Gave assessment. Waiting 1st round. But, here the assessment and resume are scored together to reach next round. Might take 1-3 weeks for invite. Assessment has only 20% - 30% weightage.
The recruiter was great! 2 rounds of 5 interviews, first was 2 associates, second was 3 partners. My first round, the interviewers spoke absolutely broken English and made it extremely difficult to understand what they are trying to say. My second interviewer was extremely rude as well. Honestly comes down to who interviews you and the case selection that will determine your fate
