I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at McKinsey & Company (Riad) in Apr 2024

⸻
2. Problem-Solving Test (PST) or Digital Assessment (Optional)
• Some candidates are required to complete an online problem-solving test (PST) or McKinsey Solve Game.

• The Solve Game is an interactive assessment that evaluates decision-making, pattern recognition, and critical thinking.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about a time you led a team under pressure.
Lengthy. You are expected to go through 7 or 8 stages of interviews and assessments, depending on the job you apply for. It is more competititve than getting in a top tier uni almost anywhere
Generally good, very leading and good atmosphere from the colleagues. Well led through and easy to follow, Surprising amount of available slots to choose, one of the interviews I prepared well for.
