I interviewed at McKinsey & Company (Lisbon, Lisbon District)
Interview
Pre-First Round Interview Online.
The case was considerably acessible considering preparation materials.
Take all the time you need to structure your answers, as it is one of the main criteria in case assessment.
Contrary to what was expected, I did not have a PEI Question, more like the usual behavioural interview.

The case was a Profitability one, about a paper manufacturer.

I interviewed at McKinsey & Company (San Francisco, CA)
Interview
Interview was a straightforward case study, and a McKinsey-specific Personal Experience Interview. This was difficult but I was able to prepare, so it was not too challenging after preparation. The team was very kind throughout the process and I was able to request information on the interview style ahead of time.

Question 1
Tell me about a challenge and how you overcame it?
Passed the online test and then had a round 1 interview. I got a rejection call shortly after. Interviews were a mix of behavioral and technical. Difficulty depends on difficulty of case.
First you get an HR Round, then 2 back to back interviews then 3 interviews. The overall process took around 2-3 weeks, it was not very difficult very fast turnaround
