I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at McKinsey & Company (Riad) in Feb 2025
Interview
Only had the interview with HR and took the McKinsey Game but failed as it requires fresh knowledge of mathematical concepts. It was in 3 parts, the first part is about building an ecosystem, the second part is a research study with narration and small mathematical problems to solve and the last part was about creating a cure with different bacteria and viruses.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Introduce yourself and your motivations to join McKinsey
Klassischer McKinsey-Bewerbungsprozess mit insgesamt vier Case-Interview-Runden. Der Prozess ist anspruchsvoll, aber sehr transparent gestaltet. Vorab wurden hilfreiche Informationen bereitgestellt, und auch online ist gut nachvollziehbar, was Bewerber:innen erwartet. Gute Vorbereitungsmöglichkeiten durch frei zugängliche Online-Ressourcen.

Question 1
Klassische Cases lösen, und Story zur Lösung Herrausfordernder Erlebnisse teilen.
Online tests followed by several rounds of case studies (3 in total) and interviews with recruiters. After being engaged in the process for several months and making it to the final interview stage they 'forgot' to let me know about their decision
Multiple hours back to back interviews at the office where you hang out for the day alongside other interviewees. The interviewers and staff were very friendly. It was a smooth experience overall.
