McKinsey & Company Interview Experiences

Super relaxed one 30 min call with someone from the team who wanted to know about past experiences they just told me about the team culture and asked which work experience was my favourite.

Went through the assessment at home first. Cases were interviewer led and I prefer candidate led so the format felt harder to navigate. Got a profitability case involving a hospital system cutting costs and got lost in the math halfway through. PEI story was about an initiative I started at a student club and they pushed on every detail for 15 minutes. When they ask what would you do differently the real answer matters so have one ready.

Solve assessment was fine, two interviews each with PEI and a case and PEI on inclusive leadership went deep they wanted specifics on how I brought a quiet teammate into a conversation during a class project. Cases were interviewer led one was market entry for consumer goods into Southeast Asia, mental math was heavy but manageable if you practice

Asked for a PEI (personal experience interview) story that is expected to be well structured. Also went through a case study.
