I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at McKinsey & Company (Paris) in Jun 2025
Interview
3 tours d'entretiens, avec une courte présentation de soi, un exercice de partage d'une expérience personnelle sur un thème précis, une étude de cas business, la possibilité de poser des questions au recruteur à la fin.

Question 1
Parlez moi d'une expérience où vous avez eu à convaincre une personne dans un contexte très challengeant. Vous devrez m'expliquer en quoi cette situation était difficile pour vous.
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
I interviewed at McKinsey & Company (San Francisco, CA)
Interview
Interview was a straightforward case study, and a McKinsey-specific Personal Experience Interview. This was difficult but I was able to prepare, so it was not too challenging after preparation. The team was very kind throughout the process and I was able to request information on the interview style ahead of time.
