I interviewed at McKinsey & Company (München, Bavaria)
Interview
The McKinsey analyst interview process is rigorous but well-structured. It usually includes a problem-solving test (or online assessment), followed by two rounds of case interviews with personal-experience questions. The cases are fast-paced and highly analytical, and interviewers expect clear structuring, hypothesis-driven thinking, and strong communication. Despite the intensity, the process feels professional, transparent, and consistent.
Straightforward, well structured & well explained. Long duration, with 5 30-ish minute interviews total spread out over the course of a couple of weeks. Great support, information on requirements/evaluations readily available.
Too long - too many rounds. Had to play a game first, then multiple rounds. No follow ups after I was rejected - I got ghosted.
Did not enjoy it - obviously this was a long while back and I was too young to notice but not a good behaviour. Truly no respect.
The process made me feel very unprepared but I was able to get through with all of my studying. I would recommend anyone about to interview with them look at Harvard Business cases as reference
