Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Explain a challenging situation you encountered when working with someone with an opposing opinion.
The interview process starts with an assessment:
The assessment is like a game but it seemed pretty hard and not relevant to the job role. I’m not sure why that’s the first part of their process. I couldn’t go past that.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at McKinsey & Company (Houston, TX) in Feb 2026
Interview
PEI with the exact same question as the website and Simple Case Interview not related to Energy Solutions. The math of the case was not difficult at all and the interview was pretty chill in general.
