I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at McKinsey & Company (Wrocław) in Jun 2021
Interview
First part motivational: be structured (top-down communication) and real (show feelings)
Second part numeric: do some homework and solve some business cases with a friend, you can find online. Be structured, walk them through reasoning, try not to screw calculation, take your time and be honest if you are not great at crunching numbers (could be a requirement to be good at tho).
In general show commitment and trustworthyness.
Target: insercure overachievers (that usually show more selfconfidence)
They would try to answer this question: would I enjoy working with this person? Would i live him/her on client site alone managing the project? Will they find smart ways to solve problems from different persectives?
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Contextual, depending on the experiences you share, they would ask specific questions, see STAR model
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

I interviewed at McKinsey & Company (New York, NY)
Interview
Positive experience until the super day. The scheduling was quite long and they gave me a month's gap between my previous round and my final round. But overall everyone speaks eloquently and thinks logically. My interactions with senior partners are also very positive; they ask insightful, probing questions and were encouraging throughout the interview. I thought I smashed it, but one of the partners called me the other day and rejected me.
