I applied through university. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at McKinsey & Company (Miami, FL) in Oct 2025
Interview
Took McKinsey solve, was invited to interview for marketing, had two cases, and didn't think they were that difficult, but the 1st interviewer kept asking clarifying questions that didn't make much sense.
Other Associate interview reviews for McKinsey & Company
The interview is structured exactly as the preparation materials describe, i.e. personal fit and case. All interviewers were friendly and supportive. After each interview round I received helpful feedback. The cases are not easy but fair.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Questions regarding the case. Interviewer will led the case though
First, there is a computer test screening. Then, you get invited for the first round interview, usually conducted by an AP. Then, for second round, you have two interviews with Partners. You get feedback quickly, less than a week between interview and feedback
3 stage interview with increasing seniority. Opportunity to prepare with current colleagues prior to interview which was useful. Straight forwards process, no big suprises if you prepare in advance but prep is needed
