I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at McKinsey & Company (Athens, Athens, Attica)
Interview
The interview consists of four rounds, each featuring a different consultant. Every round includes case studies, and a behavioral question is consistently asked to assess interpersonal and problem-solving skills. Overall the experience is challenging but prepares you for the consulting mentality and way of thinking.

Question 1
Explain a conflict or disagreement and how you convinced the other person.
Gave assessment. Waiting 1st round. But, here the assessment and resume are scored together to reach next round. Might take 1-3 weeks for invite. Assessment has only 20% - 30% weightage.
The recruiter was great! 2 rounds of 5 interviews, first was 2 associates, second was 3 partners. My first round, the interviewers spoke absolutely broken English and made it extremely difficult to understand what they are trying to say. My second interviewer was extremely rude as well. Honestly comes down to who interviews you and the case selection that will determine your fate
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.
